Question

I have deployed SPFx Teams Tab normally.
But each time I try to remove it, a error popup appears.

Can someone explan what exactly this popup is and can I skip this popup ?

Thanks.

Any update about this problem?

I'm seeing the same thing on every tab we delete. While the _api/web/hostedapps/getbyid(9)/delete request seems to work and gets a 204, the service worker gets a cancelled request :

I feel this is on the Teams / SPFx service and we can't really do anything... But it's definitely not a "great" experience for users...

Maybe something @lokimeyburg would know?

So this is happening because the SPFx tab takes longer to delete than the timeout Teams has set, at which point we show a "force-delete" dialog to the user. The original problem was that some tabs would _never_ give us the signal to remove their tab, so users couldn't delete them at all: hence the timeout + force delete dialog.

I'm reluctant to extend the timeout on Teams' side (because I believe the 30 seconds to delete the tab should be enough). I think the better option here would be for SPFx to either speed up the removal or send back a removeEvent.notifySuccess() event as soon as possible and unload the app's data asynchronously (instead of synchronously waiting for the long-running process to return).

Let me follow-up with the SPFx team.

Run into the same issue. Is there any progress? As of today, this still seems to happen - the SPFx takes too long to delete, Teams times out and shows "force remove" thing.
