There are multiple reasons because of which you may not able to install the plugin using the file upload feature. Some of the reasons are listed below:
- Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager: The Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) is a tool for administering apps in Atlassian applications. You can use the UPM to find and install, manage, and configure apps. The UPM interface is the same across products. Check the UPM version whether it is compatible with your Jira version or not.
- File size limit:
Because of the file size restriction, plugin jar may not be uploaded. Perform the below steps for changing the accepted attachment size:
- Navigate to Jira Administration -> System
- Select Advanced -> Attachments
- Click Edit Settings, which opens the Edit Attachment Settings dialog.
- In Attachment Size, specify the maximum attachment size. The default (per file) is 1 GB. The maximum attachment size (per file) is 2 GB.
