Application package version drop: Error when consumers are still using the version (Pending)

Attention

This behavior change is in the 2026_03 bundle.

For the current status of the bundle, refer to Bundle history.

The version drop process for application packages and application package release channels behaves as follows:

Before the change:

When a provider dropped a version from an application package or an application package release channel, the command succeeded even when there were applications still using the version. The version entered the dropping state and the drop completed once no applications were using that version.

After the change:

When a provider drops a version from an application package or an application package release channel, if there are applications still using that version, the provider receives an error indicating the consumer account that is still using the version. The provider must move all consumers off the version before it can enter the dropping state.
