1. Solution

For LeptonX + Angular (ABP 10) there is currently no built‑in setting or simple CSS switch to change/remove the 2026© Lepton Theme by Volosoft footer.
The supported way is to own the layout (or theme source) and register your own layout component via the Angular component replacement mechanism.

A. Recommended approach – replace the LeptonX Application Layout

1. Download LeptonX source (commercial)
   In ABP Suite → Tools → Download LeptonX Source, download the Angular LeptonX package.
   This gives you the actual layout component HTML/TS so you can start from a copy instead of from scratch.

2. Copy the application layout component into your Angular app

   From the downloaded source, locate the application layout component (it contains the current footer markup).
   Copy that component (TS + HTML + SCSS) into your Angular project under e.g. src/app/layout/custom-application-layout.

3. Edit the footer section

   In your copied HTML template, remove or change the footer markup – e.g. delete the copyright text or replace it with your own footer.

4. Register your layout via ReplaceableComponentsService

   In a root module (usually AppModule), register your custom layout component as the implementation for the LeptonX application layout:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
   import { ReplaceableComponentsService } from '@abp/ng.core';
   import { eThemeLeptonXComponents } from '@volosoft/abp.ng.theme.lepton-x';
   import { CustomApplicationLayoutComponent } from './layout/custom-application-layout/custom-application-layout.component';

   @NgModule({
     declarations: [CustomApplicationLayoutComponent],
     // imports: [...]
   })
   export class AppModule {
     constructor(replaceableComponents: ReplaceableComponentsService) {
       replaceableComponents.add({
         component: CustomApplicationLayoutComponent,
         key: eThemeLeptonXComponents.ApplicationLayout,
       });
     }
   }

Once this is in place, your layout (with your footer or no footer at all) is used everywhere, and the original Volosoft copyright footer disappears.

B. About “CSS only” alternatives

LeptonX does not expose a documented CSS variable or configuration flag specifically for hiding the footer; the theme is designed to be customized via:

• Component replacement (Angular)
• Partial / component overrides (MVC, Blazor)

Because of that, the supported and future‑proof way on Angular is what’s described above: replace the layout component (or, if a dedicated footer component is used in your version, replace that footer component via the same mechanism).

C. “Promised fix / new theme” status

For ABP 10 and current LeptonX for Angular, the situation is:

• There is no runtime setting (in appsettings, UI, or CSS variables) to change/remove the footer text.
• Customization is done via component replacement / theme source customization as above.

If you want this to become a simple configuration option, the official channel is to open a feature request or continue the discussion on the support portal so it can be tracked as a product change.

1. Solution

MapAbpStaticAssets (and underlying MapStaticAssets) works on the static web assets manifest generated at build/publish time.
That means:

• Only files that exist at build/publish are included.
• Files you copy into wwwroot after deployment are not discovered by MapStaticAssets, so they return 404.
• If you overwrite a file on disk, the response still comes from the pre‑compressed cached version created at publish time, so you see the old content.

So what you are seeing is expected behavior with MapStaticAssets/MapAbpStaticAssets and not a misconfiguration.

How to handle robots.txt per environment

You have two practical options:

Option A – Include robots.txt in the project and republish

1. Add robots.txt into your Blazor Web App project under wwwroot (or another folder, as long as it’s part of static web assets).
2. Ensure it’s marked as content if needed (in the .csproj of the WebApp project):

<ItemGroup>
     <Content Include="wwwroot\robots.txt" CopyToOutputDirectory="Always" />
   </ItemGroup>

3. Publish and deploy again.

For different environments (dev/test/prod), you can:

• Use different publish profiles that copy a different robots.txt into wwwroot before publish, or
• Use a simple pre-publish script that overwrites wwwroot/robots.txt based on an environment variable/profile.

This fits best with the MapStaticAssets design.

Option B – Custom middleware endpoint for /robots.txt (no republish for content changes)

If you really need to change robots.txt without republishing, don’t rely on static web assets at all. Serve it via middleware or a minimal API that reads from the physical file or configuration:

In your Blazor Web App host project (where you call app.MapAbpStaticAssets()), add something like:

public override void OnApplicationInitialization(ApplicationInitializationContext context)
{
    var app = context.GetApplicationBuilder();
    var env = context.GetEnvironment();

    // ... existing pipeline configuration ...

    app.MapAbpStaticAssets();

    // Custom robots.txt endpoint
    app.MapGet("/robots.txt", async ctx =>
    {
        ctx.Response.ContentType = "text/plain; charset=utf-8";

        // Example 1: Different content by environment
        if (env.IsDevelopment())
        {
            await ctx.Response.WriteAsync("User-agent: *\nDisallow:");
        }
        else if (env.IsEnvironment("Test"))
        {
            await ctx.Response.WriteAsync("User-agent: *\nDisallow: /");
        }
        else // Production
        {
            // Example 2: Read from a physical file that you can change on the server
            var filePath = Path.Combine(env.ContentRootPath, "robots.txt");
            if (File.Exists(filePath))
            {
                await ctx.Response.WriteAsync(await File.ReadAllTextAsync(filePath));
            }
            else
            {
                await ctx.Response.WriteAsync("User-agent: *\nDisallow:");
            }
        }
    });

    // ... rest of pipeline (routing, antiforgery, endpoints, etc.) ...
}

Notes:

• This bypasses the static asset manifest entirely, so any change to the physical robots.txt (or the logic) takes effect immediately on restart.
• You can keep robots.txt outside of wwwroot (e.g., at ContentRootPath) so it’s clearly treated as configuration, not a static asset.

1. Which option is better?

For a long‑lived, upgrade‑friendly Commercial solution, Option 2 is the recommended path:

• Use your existing, already‑running solution A as the main solution.
• Install CMS Kit(.Pro) into A and add a Public Website project into A, then
• Manually merge / move your customizations from B into A.

This aligns with how ABP team advises adding Public Website/CMS Kit to existing apps:
you generate a new solution with Public Website, then move that project into your existing solution rather than trying to “convert” another solution into a module.

From an official support answer:
“Create a new blank application (that includes public website project) with the same options with your existing application.
Move the public website project from the newly created solution to your existing solution.”
(support question: “add public website (and CMS kit) to existing application?”)

Using a separate “B as a module” works, but:

• you’ll continually fight template drift and module‑solution mismatches,
• upgrades are harder (you must track and manually merge ABP template/public-website changes into B‑module forever).

So, for maintainability and upgrade safety: Option 2.

2. If you did Option 1: how to convert B into a module and integrate into A?

This is technically feasible, but more complex/fragile than Option 2.

High‑level steps if you insist on Option 1:

1. Refactor B into a proper ABP Application Module
   • Ensure B follows the module layering pattern:
     • B.Domain
     • B.Domain.Shared
     • B.Application
     • B.Application.Contracts
     • B.HttpApi
     • B.HttpApi.Host (optional if you want a separate host)
     • B.Web (for the public website UI)
   • Each should have its own AbpModule class, with proper [DependsOn] attributes, e.g.:

// B.Domain.Shared
     [DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpDddDomainSharedModule),
         typeof(CmsKitDomainSharedModule) // if you depend on CmsKit
     )]
     public class BDomainSharedModule : AbpModule
     {
     }

     // B.Domain
     [DependsOn(
         typeof(AbpDddDomainModule),
         typeof(BDomainSharedModule),
         typeof(CmsKitDomainModule)
     )]
     public class BDomainModule : AbpModule
     {
     }

• Make sure B doesn’t redefine infrastructure that A already has (e.g., EF Core DbContext, identity, SaaS, etc.).

2. Database & migrations

   • If B currently has its own DbContext & migrations:
     • Decide whether you want:
       • Shared DbContext with A (recommended for a monolith), or
       • Separate schema / connection string.
   • If sharing A’s DbContext:
     • Move B’s entity mappings into A’s DbContext project and regenerate migrations there.
   • If keeping a separate DbContext:
     • Keep B’s B.EntityFrameworkCore with its own migrations & connection string.

3. Wire the module into A

   • Reference B’s projects from A’s solution (csproj references).
   • In A’s startup module(s), DependsOn the B modules you need, e.g.:

[DependsOn(
         typeof(BWebModule),
         typeof(CmsKitPublicWebModule) // if used
     )]
     public class AWebModule : AbpModule
     {
     }

4. UI integration

   • If B.Web is a full Public Website (layout, theme, CMS pages):
     • Treat it as A’s Public Website project:
       • Add a project reference from A’s solution.
       • Configure routing, app.UseEndpoints, etc., as in a standard ABP Public Website.
   • Ensure one consistent theme (often LeptonX) and do not duplicate theme modules.

5. Multi‑tenancy

   • If B contains tenant‑aware components, ensure it uses ABP’s multi‑tenancy as in A (same ICurrentTenant, tenant resolvers, etc.).
   • Use features / settings to control which tenants see the CMS/public website (see section 3.4 below).

Because this essentially recreates what the ABP “Application Module” template already gives you, and you also must keep up with Public Website template changes, this option is usually not worth the maintenance cost unless you are building a generic module to reuse in multiple, unrelated solutions.

3. Option 2 in detail: safest way to install CMS Kit + Public Website into A and migrate customizations

3.1. Add CMS Kit to existing solution A

1. Install module via CLI (run in A’s solution root):

# Open-source
   abp add-module Volo.CmsKit --skip-db-migrations

   # Commercial (Pro)
   abp add-module Volo.CmsKit.Pro --skip-db-migrations

2. Enable CMS global features in YourProjectNameDomainSharedModule (or GlobalFeatureConfigurator):

GlobalFeatureManager.Instance.Modules.CmsKit(cmsKit =>
   {
       cmsKit.EnableAll();
   });

   GlobalFeatureManager.Instance.Modules.CmsKitPro(cmsKitPro =>
   {
       cmsKitPro.EnableAll();
   });

3. Run EF Core migrations (A’s DbContext project):

   • Add migration including CMS tables.
   • Update DB.

   This is the officially documented install path for CMS Kit into an existing solution.

3.2. Add a Public Website project into A

There is no direct “add public website” CLI command to an existing solution. Official guidance:

1. Create a new temp solution C with the same options as A but with Public Website enabled:

abp new TempSolution --with-public-website [other-options-matching-A]

2. In solution C, locate the Public Website project (e.g. TempSolution.Public.Web).

3. Copy that project into A’s solution:

   • Add the project folder under A’s src directory.
   • Add it to A’s .sln.
   • Fix namespaces and project names if needed.

4. Update references:

   • Ensure A’s Public Website project references:
     • A’s Domain.Shared, Application.Contracts, HttpApi.Client etc., as in C.
     • Volo.CmsKit.Public.Web / Volo.CmsKit.Pro.Public.Web (they should already be referenced from the template).
   • Ensure A’s DbMigrator (if used) knows about the CMS migrations (usually automatic if using the unified DbContext).

This step gives you a canonical, up‑to‑date Public Website layer, exactly as ABP expects, now living inside solution A.

3.3. Migrate customizations from B into A

From your experimental solution B (created with CMS Kit + Public Website):

1. Identify what you actually changed in B:

   • New/changed pages (Pages/Public/...), view models, components.
   • Theme customizations (styles, partials, layouts).
   • CMS Kit usage: custom menus, widgets, blogs, etc. (often mostly data seeded via UI, not code).

2. Copy over custom UI code:

   • For page customizations in B.Public.Web:
     • Move them into corresponding folders in A.Public.Web:
       • Pages/Public/...
       • Themes/LeptonX/... overrides
     • Resolve namespace / module differences (A vs B project names).
   • For CMS‑specific views (blogs, dynamic pages, widgets) you extended:
     • Overwrite or extend the relevant Razor Pages in A’s Public Website project.

3. Copy/merge application/domain logic (if any) from B into A:

   • Application services, DTOs, domain services used by the public website.
   • Add these to A’s Application/Domain projects instead of B’s.

4. Re‑run and verify migrations if you added new entities for B that need DB tables in A.

5. Test all flows in A:

   • Admin CMS management (blogs, pages, menus, etc.).
   • Public website display of your custom pages/features.
   • Multi‑tenancy behavior (see 3.4).

This is conceptually the same as “upgrading imported module source code by re‑downloading and merging” that ABP support often suggests for modules: you bring in a fresh template version and then merge your custom changes on top.

3.4. Enable CMS/Public Website only for specific tenants

With everything in a single solution A, you still want only a subset of tenants to have CMS/public web capability.

Use a combination of:

1. Feature management / settings per tenant

   • Define a feature (e.g. CmsKit.Enabled) or reuse existing module features.
   • In host UI, enable that feature only for selected tenants.
   • In Public Website project and/or CMS menus, check the feature before showing pages or allowing access.

2. Tenant‑specific DNS + tenant resolvers

   • Use domain/subdomain‑based tenant resolution so only tenants that have a configured domain actually hit the public website.
   • Tenants without a mapped domain will effectively have no public website.

3. Permission control

   • Grant CMS admin permissions only to tenants that should manage content.

This is aligned with ABP’s feature system + multi‑tenancy model and avoids duplicating application code per tenant.

4. Summary

• Recommended:

  • Keep A as the only main solution.
  • Install CMS Kit(.Pro) into A.
  • Add a Public Website project to A by generating a temp solution and moving its public‑web project.
  • Merge customizations from B (code only) into A’s projects.
  • Use features + tenant configuration to expose CMS/public web only for selected tenants.

• Avoid:

  • Treating a full solution (B) as a “module” and embedding it inside A.
    It goes against ABP’s modularity patterns and complicates upgrades significantly.

1. Create a bundle contributor that removes the file(s)

In your Blazor Server UI project (the one that has the theme), add a class like this:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Bundling;
using Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.Server.Theming.Bundling; // for BlazorStandardBundles

namespace CardNavigator.Web.Bundling;

public class RemoveVulnerableScriptsContributor : BundleContributor
{
    public override void ConfigureBundle(BundleConfigurationContext context)
    {
        // Example: remove ALL bootstrap-daterangepicker scripts
        var toRemove = context.Files
            .Where(f => f.Contains("bootstrap-daterangepicker", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
            .ToList();

        foreach (var file in toRemove)
        {
            context.Files.Remove(file);
        }

        // You can repeat the same pattern for other libraries:
        // - bootstrap-datepicker
        // - jquery-form
        // - zxcvbn
        // etc.
        //
        // Example:
        // var datepicker = context.Files
        //     .Where(f => f.Contains("bootstrap-datepicker", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        //     .ToList();
        // foreach (var file in datepicker)
        // {
        //     context.Files.Remove(file);
        // }
    }
}

Adjust the Contains(...) checks to match the actual paths you see under wwwroot/libs (e.g. /libs/bootstrap-daterangepicker/daterangepicker.js).

2. Register the contributor on the global script bundle

In your Blazor Server host module (e.g. CardNavigatorWebModule), inside ConfigureServices:

using Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Mvc.UI.Bundling;
using Volo.Abp.AspNetCore.Components.Server.Theming.Bundling; // BlazorStandardBundles

public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
    Configure<AbpBundlingOptions>(options =>
    {
        // For Blazor Server global scripts
        options.ScriptBundles
            .Configure(BlazorStandardBundles.Scripts.Global, bundle =>
            {
                bundle.AddContributors(typeof(RemoveVulnerableScriptsContributor));
            });

        // If you also need to remove CSS, do the same with StyleBundles:
        // options.StyleBundles.Configure(BlazorStandardBundles.Styles.Global, bundle =>
        // {
        //     bundle.AddContributors(typeof(RemoveVulnerableStylesContributor));
        // });
    });
}

If your project is using the classic MVC bundles instead (e.g. for an MVC host), use StandardBundles.Scripts.Global instead of BlazorStandardBundles.Scripts.Global.

3. Rebuild the static assets and test

4. From the UI project folder:

abp install-libs

2. Build and run the app.
3. Open the browser dev tools → Network tab and confirm that the removed JS/CSS files are no longer requested.
4. Re-run the Sonatype scan.

This way you are not touching ABP’s NPM packages directly; you are just customizing the final bundles to exclude specific files or entire libraries.

This response was generated by AI. If it didn’t solve your problem, feel free to post a new answer — our support team will jump in to help you soon.

1. What you’re seeing / is this known?

Yes, this kind of report is common when running SAST/SCA tools (Sonatype, GitHub Advanced Security, etc.) on ABP-based solutions.
The items in your screenshot (e.g. bootstrap-daterangepicker, bootstrap-datepicker, jquery-form, preact, zxcvbn, etc.) are front-end dependencies that come from ABP’s NPM packages (themes, modules, etc.), not from your own package.json directly.

ABP regularly upgrades both NuGet and NPM dependencies, but scanners sometimes:

• Flag older versions that are still in a given ABP release.
• Or raise false-positives against minified browser JS (we’ve had such a case with Toast UI editor before).
• Or flag issues that are not reachable in normal usage of ABP (e.g. specific, unused code paths).

2. How to update / ensure you’re on latest dependencies

To make sure you’re using the newest versions that ABP provides:

1. Update ABP NuGet packages & solution version

   From command line in your solution root:

abp update

Or use ABP Studio → Update All ABP Packages.

This brings your solution up to the latest compatible ABP Framework / ABP Commercial version and in turn updates referenced front‑end packages (because each ABP version pins specific NPM versions).

2. Re-install front-end libraries

   In your Blazor Server UI project folder (the one with package.json):

abp install-libs

This:

• Restores node_modules (according to the ABP NPM package versions).
• Rebuilds wwwroot/libs from those packages.

3. If you’ve customized package.json

   If you added your own dependencies there, also run:

yarn install
   # or
   npm install

Then re-run your bundling process (if you use a custom one).

After these steps, you are on the latest JS/CSS stack for your ABP version. Many scanners will stop flagging older vulnerabilities once those versions are updated.

3. Can I update specific libraries myself?

In most cases, those components are encapsulated inside ABP’s own NPM packages (e.g. LeptonX theme, account/auth UI, etc.). That means:

• You cannot reliably bump only bootstrap-daterangepicker or preact by editing your package.json, because:
  • ABP’s scripts and styles may rely on specific versions.
  • Overriding them ad‑hoc may break the theme or modules.

You have three realistic options:

1. Preferred: wait for / request ABP to upgrade them

   • Keep your solution on the latest ABP version (as above).
   • If Sonatype still reports serious, confirmed vulnerabilities, open a support ticket with:
     • Exact package name & version.
     • CVE / advisory links.
     • Sonatype report details.

   The ABP team regularly does bulk upgrades of third‑party libraries. If there is a newer safe version of one of those libraries, they generally upgrade it in upcoming releases.

2. Remove the library if unused

   If you are sure you don’t use the functionality that brings a specific library, you can:

   • Find which ABP JS bundle includes it (in /wwwroot/libs and the related bundling contributor in your UI project).
   • Override the bundling configuration to exclude that file or entire library, and test your UI.

   This is advanced and you must manually verify nothing breaks.

3. Full custom front-end

   For extreme security requirements, some teams:

   • Stop relying on ABP’s front-end bundles.
   • Build their own UI assets from scratch (only with libraries they vet and pin).
   • Use ABP only on the server side.

   This gives full control, but you lose ABP’s ready-made UI integration.

4. What if Sonatype still flags issues after upgrading?

If you:

• Are on the latest ABP version,
• Have run abp install-libs,
• Still get high‑severity findings on ABP-supplied libraries,

then:

1. Confirm the vulnerability is real and version-specific
   Some findings (especially for minified JS) are pattern based and can be false-positives. Check whether the CVE/advisory:

   • Mentions that exact version, and
   • Applies to browser-side usage in your context.

2. If confirmed, raise it with ABP
   Provide the full Sonatype report and CVE references so the ABP team can:

   • Upgrade the library in the next release, or
   • Replace/remove it if it’s obsolete.

3. Temporary mitigation / exception
   Until ABP publishes a release containing the upgraded dependency, many customers:

   • Document the risk and create a temporary allow/ignore rule in their SCA tool (bounded by ABP version), or
   • Remove the unused feature/module that pulls that library (if applicable).

5. Summary of what you should do now

6. In your solution root:

abp update

2. In your Blazor Server UI project:

abp install-libs

3. Re-run the Sonatype scan.

4. For any remaining high-severity items:

   • Collect: package name, version, CVE/advisory, and Sonatype evidence.
   • Open an ABP support ticket or issue with those details so the library can be upgraded or evaluated.

This is the supported and safe way to deal with security scan findings in an ABP solution, without breaking the LeptonX theme or ABP modules.

This response was generated by AI. If it didn’t solve your problem, feel free to post a new answer — our support team will jump in to help you soon.

1. What is happening?

This is a known limitation of the Angular proxy generator:
when you have custom classes that subclass PagedResultDto<T> (or other complex generics), the generated models.ts can end up with:

import type { MyEntityDto } from './models';

export interface MyEntityDto {
  // ...
}

or similar patterns for generic type parameters (e.g. T, TKey), causing TypeScript errors like:

• TS2440: Import declaration conflicts with local declaration of 'MyEntityDto'
• TS2303 / TS2459 about circular definition or missing exported member T, TKey, etc.

The official support answer for the linked ticket confirms:

The generate-proxy command may not support all C# types; you need to modify the generated code manually for now.

So this is a limitation/bug of the proxy generator, not your specific project.

2. Recommended fixes / workarounds

You have two practical options. The recommended one is to simplify the C# DTOs so they’re proxy‑friendly.

Option A – Change your C# DTO design (recommended)

Avoid exposing custom subclasses of PagedResultDto<T> in your public application contracts.

Instead of:

public class MyEntityDto : EntityDto<Guid>
{
    // ...
}

public class MessageCenterCustomPagedResultDto : PagedResultDto<MyEntityDto>
{
}

Change your application service methods to return the base PagedResultDto<T> directly:

public class MyEntityDto : EntityDto<Guid>
{
    // ...
}

// AppService method
public virtual async Task<PagedResultDto<MyEntityDto>> GetListAsync(MyInputDto input)
{
    // ...
}

If you need extra properties on the “paged result”, make them normal properties on a non‑generic DTO instead of subclassing PagedResultDto<T>:

public class MyEntityPagedResultDto
{
    public long TotalCount { get; set; }
    public List<MyEntityDto> Items { get; set; }

    // Any additional fields you need
    public string SomeExtraInfo { get; set; }
}

// AppService method
public virtual async Task<MyEntityPagedResultDto> GetCustomListAsync(MyInputDto input)
{
    // Map manually from a PagedResultDto<MyEntityDto> or query result
}

This produces simple DTO shapes that the Angular proxy generator can handle without generating recursive imports or bogus generic imports.

After changing the contracts:

1. Rebuild the backend.
2. Run the proxy generator again:

abp generate-proxy -t ng

3. Build the Angular project.

You should no longer see TS2440 on MyEntityDto (or similar generic / import issues).

Option B – Manually fix the generated TypeScript after each generation

If you must keep the C# design as‑is, you can:

1. Run abp generate-proxy -t ng.
2. Open src/app/proxy/models.ts (and any client-models/models.ts in modules, if applicable).
3. Manually fix the problematic parts, for example:
   • Remove the self‑import:

// Remove this line:
     import type { MyEntityDto } from './models';

• Or rename the locally declared interface to avoid name clash and adjust usages.

4. Then build the Angular app.

The downside: every time you regenerate proxies, these files can be overwritten, so you must either:

• keep your changes minimal and easy to re‑apply, or
• exclude those DTOs from your public HTTP APIs and use separate non‑generic DTOs for Angular.

3. Why this happens / what to expect

• The current generator does not correctly handle:
  • C# types that are subclasses of PagedResultDto<T>.
  • Some generic types used in DTOs (e.g., CompareLookupDto<TKey>, MyEntityCustomPagedResultDto<T>).
• It tries to treat type parameters or derived generic types as if they were standalone DTOs in the shared models.ts, leading to:
  • recursive imports (import { MyEntityDto } from './models'; while also defining MyEntityDto),
  • or imports of generic parameters (import { T } from '../../../models';).

Given the current behavior, the most robust, maintenance‑friendly fix is to refactor your application contracts as in Option A so they only use:

• PagedResultDto<MyEntityDto> directly, or
• simple DTOs with TotalCount + Items + any extra fields.

1. Solution

In ABP (including v10) with LeptonX, the favicon is still taken from the root of each application. The theme does not require any extra configuration: placing the files in the right place is enough.

For a Blazor Server + separated AuthServer setup with LeptonX:

1. Make sure the favicon files are in the correct paths
   For each application (AuthServer and Blazor Server UI):

   • Place your files exactly as:
     • YourApp.AuthServer/wwwroot/favicon.svg
     • YourApp.AuthServer/wwwroot/favicon.ico
     • YourApp.Blazor/wwwroot/favicon.svg
     • YourApp.Blazor/wwwroot/favicon.ico

   There should be no sub-folder (like /images/ or /assets/) in the path – LeptonX looks at the root.

2. Remove any manual <link rel="icon" ...> overrides
   If you previously followed older instructions and edited layout/profile pages, restore/remove any custom favicon lines, for example:

<link rel="icon" href="/some/other/path/icon.svg" ... />

or any layout/component that points to a LeptonX favicon.
With LeptonX, you normally do not need to add a <link rel="icon"...> tag at all; the default layout will use /favicon.svg and /favicon.ico from wwwroot.

3. Ensure the files are published and served as static content

   For both AuthServer and Blazor projects:

   • Right‑click favicon.svg and favicon.ico in Visual Studio → Properties:
     • Build Action = Content
     • Copy to Output Directory = Do not copy or Copy if newer (both are fine as long as they end up under wwwroot at publish time).
   • Clean + Rebuild the solution.
   • If you publish, check the publish folder to confirm:
     • <publish_root>\wwwroot\favicon.svg
     • <publish_root>\wwwroot\favicon.ico

4. Verify which favicon URL is actually being requested

   In the browser (for both AuthServer URL and Blazor UI URL):

   • Open DevTools → Network tab → filter by favicon.
   • Reload the page.
   • Confirm the request URL is /favicon.svg or /favicon.ico and not something like /Themes/LeptonX/.../favicon.svg.
   • Click the favicon request and check Response:
     • It should be your custom icon file (not the LeptonX default).

   If you see the favicon being requested from a different URL, that means some layout/component is still pointing to the LeptonX icon. Remove/override that link, so only /favicon.svg (or /favicon.ico) from wwwroot is used.

5. Clear cache correctly

   Because browsers cache favicons aggressively:

   • Open DevTools → Network → check Disable cache.
   • Hard reload (Ctrl+F5).
   • Optionally, try another browser profile or a different machine.

6. If AuthServer and Blazor show different icons

   • Check each app separately:
     • Browse directly to https://authserver-host/favicon.svg → you should see your SVG.
     • Browse to https://blazor-host/favicon.svg → you should see the same SVG.
   • If one of them still returns the LeptonX icon, its wwwroot/favicon.* is not updated or not deployed correctly. Fix that project and rebuild.

If all the above conditions are satisfied (correct paths, no custom <link> overrides, files actually deployed and served) LeptonX in ABP 10 will use your favicon instead of the LeptonX icon.

1. Solution

Based on the information in the linked tickets and our internal docs:

• The React Native / Expo template is an officially supported template and is still maintained by the ABP team.
• The commercial React Native template is derived from the same codebase as the open-source template:
  • Public repo: templates/app/react-native (used as the base for the commercial one).
  • In an earlier, similar ticket, the team explicitly invited contributions to this repo and confirmed that fixes are then applied to the commercial template as well.
• There is a history of the template lagging behind current Expo / RN ecosystems, and your experience (SDK / dependency churn, breaking changes, outdated or duplicated packages) unfortunately matches previous support tickets:
  • Old ticket about state / plans for React Native startup template: the team acknowledged issues and explicitly said they started working on updating the template and released updated versions afterwards.
  • Ticket you referenced (8727) led to another round of updates (Expo version bump, new structure, new docs).

So, regarding your concrete questions:

1. “Is the React Native / Expo template actually supported by the ABP team?”
   Yes. It is part of the official ABP offering (and the commercial variant is covered under support). When blocking issues are reported (like the ones you list), they are treated as bugs and get fixed in subsequent releases. The docs are also kept in sync with those template updates:

   • Tiered architecture React Native docs (current structure, expo usage, etc.):
     https://abp.io/docs/10.0/framework/ui/react-native?Architecture=Tiered
   • Monolithic architecture React Native docs (includes Expo Web notes):
     https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/ui/react-native?Architecture=Monolith

2. “Is there a plan to get it working for real-world projects?”
   Yes. The intent is that the React Native / Expo template is usable for real projects, not just demos. The fact that:

   • the template has been updated multiple times (Expo SDK changes, structure changes),
   • docs have been revised to reflect the new structure,
   • and bugs from tickets like yours and 2395/8727 have resulted in changes,

   is evidence that it is not abandoned; it’s just that mobile (especially React Native + Expo) changes much faster than the .NET backend, and the template has repeatedly lagged behind that pace.

3. About the specific problems you listed (missing files, normalize-css-color, outdated/duplicate packages, TS/JS mix):

   These fall into two buckets:

   • Template correctness issues (e.g. index.ts referencing CreateUpdateTenant, TenantsScreen that don’t exist, normalize-css-color resolution problems).
     These are treated as bugs. When you see something that prevents a fresh template from even building, that should be reported as a support ticket and will be fixed. That’s exactly what happened in the previous ticket you linked: issues were acknowledged and addressed in a later revision of the template + docs.
   • Ecosystem / quality issues (old Axios, duplicated UI libraries like native-base and react-native-paper, TS/JS mixing, unused packages).
     These are quality & maintenance items. They don’t always break the build, but they absolutely impact confidence and maintainability. Again, similar complaints in earlier tickets have led to updates, but it’s clear from what you’re seeing that more cleanup is still needed.

   The right way to get these resolved is:

   • Open a commercial support ticket listing:
     • ABP version, Suite version.
     • Exact project type (Monolith/Tiered, which React Native template).
     • Concrete failing imports (index.ts line(s), normalize-css-color error stack, etc.).
     • package.json of the generated mobile app.
   • These are then reproduced against the current template and patched.

4. What’s actually going on / why this keeps happening

   From the pattern in previous tickets and the current docs:

   • The React Native template is a second-tier citizen compared to Angular / MVC / Blazor templates in terms of maturity and update frequency.
     It is supported, but it tends to receive bulk updates (Expo SDK jumps, structural changes) rather than the very tight, incremental maintenance the web UIs get.
   • React Native + Expo have fast-moving breaking changes, and keeping a template “always green” across iOS, Android, and Web is more fragile than keeping an Angular/MVC/Blazor template current.
   • That means there can be windows where a just-released ABP version still contains:
     • a misaligned import or folder reference,
     • a dependency that now conflicts with a new Expo SDK,
     • or a leftover package that is no longer needed.

   Those are not intentional and not “by design”; they’re bugs / technical debt that need to be raised (like you are doing) so they can be fixed in the next patch.

5. Practical recommendations if you must decide for a production project now

   Given your clear requirement for production-grade reliability:

   • If you must use React Native / Expo today for a serious, long-lived project, the safest process with the current template is:

     1. Generate a fresh solution.
     2. Immediately:
        • Lock down and normalize versions in package.json.
        • Remove unused / duplicate UI libraries you don’t plan to use.
        • Convert the JS/TS mixed files to a consistent TS setup.
        • Fix any broken imports (such as the index.ts references or normalize-css-color) and keep those fixes in your own repo.
     3. Whenever you upgrade ABP:
        • Re-generate a bare RN app for comparison.
        • Diff its React Native project against yours and pull in only the necessary updates.

   • If you do not want to carry that responsibility (i.e., you want a template that is “green and hands-off” like the Angular or MVC templates), then today the RN/Expo template may not match your expectation yet. In that case, you may:

     • Use ABP with one of the better-tested UI stacks (Angular/Blazor/MVC) as your primary interface.
     • Or use the ABP REST APIs (or auto-generated proxies) from a React Native app that you own and scaffold independently, rather than relying heavily on the mobile startup template.

   • If you’re open to helping improve the situation, the ABP team already pointed out that contributions to the open-source React Native template are welcome. Those improvements are then ported into the commercial template.

1. Which package/module to reference

In the app template with SaaS host side, ITenantAppService is in the host contracts package:

• Assembly / NuGet: Volo.Saas.Host.Application.Contracts
• Module class: SaasHostApplicationContractsModule
• Namespace of the interface: Volo.Saas

So you should depend on Volo.Saas.Host.Application.Contracts, not on a non‑existing Volo.Saas.Application.Contracts.

2. Where to add the reference

You normally need ITenantAppService only in your Application layer, where you build DTOs and orchestrate calls.

• Add the package/project reference to your module’s *.Application project.
• Do not add it to your module’s *.Application.Contracts project unless you really need to expose SaaS DTOs in your own public contracts.

a) MyModule.Application.csproj

If you’re using NuGet packages:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Volo.Saas.Host.Application.Contracts" Version="x.y.z" />
</ItemGroup>

(Use the same x.y.z ABP/Commercial version as the rest of your solution.)

Or, if you have a Saas.Host.Application.Contracts project in the solution, just add a project reference instead of NuGet.

b) Application module class

In your module’s Application project:

using Volo.Abp.Modularity;
using Volo.Saas.Host; // for SaasHostApplicationContractsModule

[DependsOn(
    typeof(SaasHostApplicationContractsModule)
    // other dependencies...
)]
public class MyModuleApplicationModule : AbpModule
{
}

Now you can inject ITenantAppService in your app services:

using Volo.Saas;

public class MyEntityAppService : ApplicationService
{
    private readonly ITenantAppService _tenantAppService;

    public MyEntityAppService(ITenantAppService tenantAppService)
    {
        _tenantAppService = tenantAppService;
    }

    public async Task<MyEntityDto> GetAsync(Guid id)
    {
        var entity = await Repository.GetAsync(id);
        var dto = ObjectMapper.Map<MyEntity, MyEntityDto>(entity);

        if (entity.TenantId.HasValue)
        {
            var tenantDto = await _tenantAppService.GetAsync(entity.TenantId.Value);
            dto.TenantName = tenantDto.Name;
        }

        return dto;
    }
}

3. Should you add it to your Application.Contracts project?

• Usually no. Application.Contracts of your module should define your own DTOs and service interfaces and stay relatively clean.
• Add Volo.Saas.Host.Application.Contracts there only if:
  • You want to use SaaS DTO types in your public service contracts, or
  • You need to expose some tenant DTO as part of your own DTOs.

If you just need tenant info internally to build DTOs, referencing it only from *.Application is the cleaner approach.

1. To which assembly should you reference?

ITenantAppService is defined in the SaaS module’s application contracts:

• Namespace: Volo.Saas
• Assembly / package: Volo.Saas.Application.Contracts

From your own module’s Application layer, you should depend on this contracts package (or project), not on the SaaS implementation.

2. Add the dependency (NuGet or project reference)

a) If you are using the commercial SaaS module as NuGet

In your <YourModule>.Application project:

.csproj

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Volo.Saas.Application.Contracts" Version="*" />
</ItemGroup>

(Use the same version as the rest of your ABP packages.)

Module class

using Volo.Saas;

[DependsOn(
    typeof(SaasApplicationContractsModule) // <- important
)]
public class MyModuleApplicationModule : AbpModule
{
}

Now you can inject ITenantAppService anywhere in this application module:

using Volo.Saas;

public class MyEntityAppService : ApplicationService
{
    private readonly ITenantAppService _tenantAppService;

    public MyEntityAppService(ITenantAppService tenantAppService)
    {
        _tenantAppService = tenantAppService;
    }

    // use _tenantAppService.GetAsync(id) etc.
}

b) If your solution has a separate Saas.Application.Contracts project

In that case, instead of NuGet, add a project reference from your module’s *.Application project to the Saas.Application.Contracts project, and still annotate your module with:

[DependsOn(typeof(SaasApplicationContractsModule))]
public class MyModuleApplicationModule : AbpModule
{
}

Everything else is the same; you can inject ITenantAppService normally.

3. Why this is OK in DDD terms

• Your domain layer stays independent of tenants (other than the TenantId value).
• Your application layer is allowed to depend on other bounded contexts’ application contracts (like SaaS), so calling ITenantAppService here is a standard and recommended pattern.
