Cannot generate installation link

Hello,

My submission is just about ready, the only thing I'm missing is... an installation link, which I unfortunately can't generate because my app is using scopes from both Confluence and Jira. How to handle this case?

Thx,
Mathy

    After doing some more research I found on this page that it should be actually possible to do this, even though the feature is only in preview mode it should be available to all.

    https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/app-compatibility/#multiple-app-compatibility--eap-

    One thing I wondered was if the fact that I had `licensing: enabled: true` in the file was the actual culprit but I had no way to prove it because when I put it to false or removed it, I’d get this error message from `forge deploy` about it needing to be enabled.

    Then, on a hunch, I experimented a bit with my manifest.yml:
    * I removed all the multi-app configuration, Jira permission scopes and the licensing from the file
    * I deployed to production
    * I could succesfully generate an installation link and use it to install. Of course my app did not work because of the missing installation and permissions in Jira.
    * I readded `compatibility: confluence: required: true` and deployed to production
    * The link was still there and I could still install
    * I readded `compatibility: jira: required: false` and the Jira permission scopes and deployed to production
    * The link was still there, I could still install and now finally my app also fully worked

    I did not have to readd the `licensing: enabled: true` either, `forge deploy` was no longer complaining about it, even though it’s still not there.

    I also created a support ticket asking for help with the issue yesterday and just posted this solution in there too.
