Application package version drop: Immediate replication refresh for version drops (Pending)¶

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

Before the change:

When a provider marked a version as dropping from an application package or application package release channel, the version entered the dropping state in the primary region. However, the provider had to wait for the next replication attempt to transition the version to the dropping state in replicated regions. This caused delays in the version drop process.

After the change:

When a provider marks a version as dropping from an application package or application package release channel, the version enters the dropping state in the primary region and a new replication refresh task starts immediately to update the secondary regions. The version enters the dropping state in all replicated regions without waiting for the next scheduled replication attempt.

The LISTING_AUTO_REFRESH property on the application package controls this behavior and is enabled by default.
