@gpatel-fr said in Script for updating apps [help needed]: or is there more complicated clickable.json files ? Thanks for asking. Yep, when the json has nested elements it would fail? For example applying the script to this json: } [...] "kill": "qmlscene", "dependencies_host" : [ "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2" ] } will leave a yml file similar to [...] "kill": "qmlscene" "dependencies_host": "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2" and, I think, it should end with a list "dependencies_host": - "qml-module-ubuntu-onlineaccounts2"
