Can't install any of the "trailheadapps" using the unlocked package install link once another trailheadapp is installed

Getting the following error when trying ot install any of the trailheadapps apps once one of them is already installed in my dev org:

Package: LWCRecipes (04tB0000000KAfT)
Error Number: 439019472-181616 (1432842097)
Problem:

1. You can’t remove the following public properties: pageNumber,pageSize,totalItemCount, because the component is part of a managed package.

Yes, that's expected. You can't overwrite similar named components from package a with package b.

Hi @muenzpraeger , sorry to bring up an old post.

I have a similar issue as @jasonerivera (You can’t remove the following public properties xxxxx) and I hope to get your opinion on how this can be resolved.

In our case a version of the unlocked package was installed to a Org that includes a LWC with a @api property called "PropertyA". Then in the next version of the package, I have removed that @api "PropertyA" from the component. When I tried to install that new version of the package to the same Org, I was getting the same error message as described here.

What is your suggestion on managing the removal of @api properties in LWC between package versions?

Hi @williamycxue, you'll need to use the --upgradetype flag when installing the next package version(s). It tells the platform what to do with metadata changes. You can see the details about the usage here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.sfdx_dev.meta/sfdx_dev/sfdx_dev_dev2gp_install_pkg_upgrade.htm
