### Server version compatibility
If your app uses a feature introduced in a specific Twenty server version (for example, OAuth providers added in v2.3.0), you should declare the minimum server version your app requires using the `engines.twenty` field in `package.json`:
```json filename="package.json"
{
"name": "twenty-my-app",
"version": "1.0.0",
"engines": {
"node": "^24.5.0",
"twenty": ">=2.3.0"
}
}
```
The value is a standard [semver range](https://github.com/npm/node-semver#ranges). Common patterns:
| Range | Meaning |
|-------|---------|
| `>=2.3.0` | Any server from 2.3.0 onward |
| `>=2.3.0 <3.0.0` | 2.3.0 or later, but below the next major |
| `^2.3.0` | Same as `>=2.3.0 <3.0.0` |
**What happens at deploy and install time:**
- If `engines.twenty` is set and the target server's version does not satisfy the range, the deploy (tarball upload) or install is rejected with a `SERVER_VERSION_INCOMPATIBLE` error and a message indicating both the required range and the actual server version.
- If `engines.twenty` is **not set**, the app is accepted on any server version (backward-compatible with existing apps).
- If the server has no `APP_VERSION` configured, the check is skipped.
<Note>
The server is the authoritative check — it validates `engines.twenty` on both tarball upload and workspace install. If you deploy a tarball out-of-band or install from the marketplace, the server still enforces compatibility.
</Note>
## Automated CI/CD (scaffolded workflows)
Apps generated with `create-twenty-app` ship with two GitHub Actions workflows out of the box, under `.github/workflows/`. They are ready to run as soon as you push the repo to GitHub — no extra setup is needed for CI, and CD only requires a single secret.
