Research direction

Reproduce the failure by running rc-apps create followed by rc-apps package in the generated project. Inspect app.json, package.json, tsconfig.json, icon.png, and HelloWorldApp.ts, then trace how the package command reads the app version. Done means a newly created app packages successfully without Invalid Version: null.

🐛 Bug Description

After installing @rocket.chat/apps-cli@1.12.1 and running:
rc-apps create
any attempt to package the app via:
rc-apps package
results in the following error:
Error: Invalid Version: null

🔍 What I tried
  • Checked app.json: it does contain "version": "0.0.1"
  • Ensured package.json, tsconfig.json, icon.png, and HelloWorldApp.ts are present in the project root
