Affected Resource(s)

Resource MRs required to reproduce the bug

apiVersion: applications.azuread.upbound.io/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: my-app-test
  annotations:
    crossplane.io/external-name: "/applications/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"
spec:
  managementPolicies: ["Observe"]

    identifierUris:
    - "dummyurl.com"
  providerConfigRef:
    name: azuread-provider-config

Steps to Reproduce

• updating the existing Azure AD application

What happened?

Hi crossplane team,

we need to update the existing azure AD application by adding redirect uris for SSO configuration.
However looks it's not working with the azuread provider the version 1.6.0.

Relevant Error Output Snippet

Warning CannotObserveExternalResource 33s managed/applications.azuread.upbound.io/v1beta1, kind=application external resource does not exist

Crossplane Version

1.18.0

Provider Version

1.6.0

Kubernetes Version

v1.31.0

Kubernetes Distribution

minikube

Additional Info

I've tried to use identifierUris as an additional field but still not working. Changing the management policy and using "*" creates a new app instead of updating the existing one. My provider config has ReadWrite permissions for all apps.

Thanks for your report @eriksML. To clarify, you're interested in importing a resource as documented here, right?

[eriksML]

Hi @mergenci, yes you're right.

Hi @eriksML,

I could not reproduce the issue on my side. Please make sure you have given the correct value to the crossplane.io/external-name annotation. It should be: crossplane.io/external-name: /applications/<Object ID>

Hi @turkenf,

thank you for your response. Could you send your application manifest please?
Are you using
managementPolicies: ["Observe"]
for importing the resource firstly?
My manifest is in the description where I have the correct value in the name annotation.
I've tested it again with the latest provider version and still getting the error

Warning CannotObserveExternalResource 99s (x3 over 6m56s) managed/applications.azuread.upbound.io/v1beta1, kind=application external resource does not exist

Hi @eriksML,

thank you for your response. Could you send your application manifest please?
Are you using

Yes, and the YAML file:

apiVersion: applications.azuread.upbound.io/v1beta1
kind: Application
metadata:
  annotations:
