Why Can't I Upgrade My Rancher App from OCI Registry Using a Build Pipeline?

Rancher
1

I am using Rancher version 2.9.1 with OCI registries. I have successfully added and pushed images to Azure Container Registry (ACR). However, when I attempt to upgrade the last pushed image in my Rancher app using the command:
./rancher-v2.9.0/rancher app upgrade "${{ parameters.appName }}" "${{ parameters.appVersion }}"
the upgrade does not work, and the version does not update. While using the Rancher UI, I can refresh the repositories, and the updated version of the app is reflected correctly.

For example, when the docker repo is abc/abc-ci and version is 1.21.1, the command returns an error stating that the abc-ci at version 1.21.1 is not found.

OCI repository URL oci://xyz.azurecr.io/abc/abc-ci

Could you please help me troubleshoot this issue?

No, actually the installed apps were not upgraded when I ran ./rancher-v2.6.7/rancher app upgrade ${{ parameters.appName }} --version ${{ parameters.appVersion }}, because Rancher removes legacy apps in newer versions, and the apps command no longer works. Additionally, the repositories were not refreshed when I tried to automate this operation from the build pipeline.
