Qlik Sense App Serialize / Deserialize TFS

[#1]

I would like to add the Qlik Sense apps we have been developing into TFS for source control.

1 - Does the SDK allow a way to serialize the .QVF files to JSON (or xml, etc). We could then use the serialized file to load into TFS ?

2-  On the same token, would it also support deserializing the app back to qlik's original binary format, in case we would need a "Rollback" to a prior version ?

Thank you in advance.

Have a look at this: GitHub - mindspank/serializeapp

Serializeapp works with Qlik Sense desktop version. Is there any way to serialize qlik sense app present in qlik sense cloud?

Hey @Mansi1403 - you have a couple of native options in Qlik Cloud:

• Use Qlik-CLI to unbuild (and then rebuild) the app: https://qlik.dev/libraries-and-tools/qlik-cli/app-unbuild
• Use an application automation template to unbuild/rebuild the app, optionally also moving it to a version control repository (templates are available from within Qlik Cloud, or you can check out tutorials like this one https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Application-Automation-Set-load-script-...)

You can also use the APIs to build your own methods if these aren't sufficient.
