marketplace package update is not allowed

Error message

marketplace package update is not allowed

What it means

Thrown by UpdateBazaarPackage when the matched available package has DisallowUpdate == true. The bazaar sets DisallowUpdate when the package's MinAppVersion exceeds the running app version, or when the plugin/theme is flagged backend/frontend-incompatible (bazaar.go:95-108). So this error means the update is blocked because the newer version would be incompatible.

Solutions

1. Update SiYuan to a version >= the package's latest MinAppVersion, then retry the update.
2. If the incompatibility is frontend-specific, switch to the supported frontend (e.g. desktop vs mobile).
3. Stay on the currently installed version until the app is upgraded.

// Inspect the update entry's DisallowUpdate flag before calling UpdateBazaarPackage.
updated, err := model.GetUpdatedPackages(pkgType, frontend)
if err != nil {
    return err
}
for _, u := range updated {
    if u.Installed != nil && u.Installed.Name == packageName && u.Available != nil {
        if u.Available.DisallowUpdate {
            return fmt.Errorf("update blocked; requires newer SiYuan or different frontend")
        }
    }
}

err := model.UpdateBazaarPackage(pkgType, packageName, frontend)
if err != nil {
    if err.Error() == "marketplace package update is not allowed" {
        // update disallowed: upgrade SiYuan or switch frontend, then retry
    }
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling UpdateBazaarPackage for a package whose latest online version requires a newer SiYuan, or whose latest version is incompatible with the current frontend. The package is installed and found in the update list, but updating is disallowed.

Common situations: An update to a plugin/theme was published that drops support for older SiYuan or for the user's frontend; the user clicks update and is blocked. Resolving requires raising the app version or switching frontend.
