While deploying a managed solution to a target environment, it failed with this error:

> "The solution import failed because some references included in the solution are not present in the organization. List of unresolved references: '', '', ''"

No component names. No helpful details. Just empty quotes.

Here’s how we figured it out the issue and fixed.

• Opened the solution in the PowerApps Maker Portal and scanned through the solution components one by one and found out — there was a Custom API (custom action) in the solution referring a plug-in assembly.
• But the plugin assembly was not included in the solution. The Custom API was pointing to something that didn’t exist.
• That’s why the import failed — the solution had a reference to a plugin that wasn’t there.
• Added the missing Plugin assembly into the solution. After that, the import worked perfectly.
