Issue: 

I am trying to configure a Benchling App from manifest by uploading my .yaml file but I am getting an error that reads "Can't locate a version in file "xxx.yaml"" even though I have the manifestVersion specified in the file.

Environment:

Developer Platform, Benchling App

Cause:

The error is actually asking about the App Version, which would be set in the info block alongside with name and description. ManifestVersion is referring to the version of the Manifest format.

Resolution Steps:

ManifestVersion should be 1. So your manifest file should look something like this:

---
manifestVersion: 1
info:
   name: "Hello World App"
   description: "A simple Benchling app with an App Canvas containing a Hello World button."
   version: 0.0.2
