Hi @Hafees_Kazhunkil,

I think this is the same issue as found here

To resolve this, the the setup.py file and correct

install_requires = f.read().strip().split('
')

to

install_requires = f.read().strip().split('\n')

After that, push your new app to github, delete the local app/yourapp folder, then run

$ bench get-app https://github/yourname/yourapp.git
$ bench install-app yourapp

Hope this helps.
