is there a way in Service Fabric to deploy a new version of an app even though the code hasn't changed?
SF is constantly complaining about this whenever the devs rebuild the repo because something outside of the package changed but don't change the actual code of the app, and the version of the application gets bumped up by the build pipeline.
SF then says "you're trying to deploy a newer version of an application that already exists even though there are no code changes" and then fails.
Any way to change this behaviour?
Edit:
Here's a trace of the actual deployment error:
