D365 F&O: App checker (Build your code as per MS standards)

Folks, Today I would like to shed some light on D365 Fin Ops – App checker (checkbox) under the build model dialog form in Visual studio [>>Only for Developers<<]

Dynamics 365 -> Build Models -> Options tab -> Run App Checks

What does ‘Run app checks” do? Yes, you are thinking it right 😊 – When you mark ‘Run app checks’ flag to true during the build process of the selected model - System will do the analysis over the custom code to check if it meets Microsoft coding standard and provide you the list of errors/warnings if it doesn’t pass all the standards. Isn’t that interesting?

So, finally, we can say -

** If you do not meet the coding standards your solution will not build **

However, you need to have mandatory installation of BaseX to utilize App checker functionality.

Below table will provide you more insights.
