What's the correct way to assign app passes to apps in a managed solution?

Greetings, community! I need to assign some app passes to a managed solution canvas app and want to be sure I do this correctly. I know how to do this with unmanaged solutions, but I see in this forum post that doing this adds an unmanaged layer. Is there an "official" way to manage app passes with managed solutions?

Hi @arpost 

There shouldn't be any difference in the way you apply app passes. App passes are assigned to an environment and then there is a setting on the app to consume the app passes when the app is shared.

For the unmanaged layer, are you talking about updating the Per-app licenses switch on the App settings for the app in a managed solution (see screenshot below)? I've tested this out before and it doesn't create an unmanaged layer.

That's good to know, @HSheild! Appreciate the confirmation; glad to know it is the same.
