Has anyone come across this issue when upgrading your customization packages from 2022R2 to 2023R2 when trying to log in to Acumatica that prevents you from getting in? I am not using any Nuget for this project.

The Customization Project has nothing to do with the login pages or associated business logics like User Prefereneces or General Preferences …

This thing is killing me and have wated over a full day on it. If someone has any idea or is willing to a remote I will be more than happy to send a Teams invite at their convenient.

This project has been working perfectly since 2020 with no issues.

I figured it out. It seems effective 2023 release Acumatica has done something that loads the classes which are decorated with [PXLocalizable] to be loaded and translated (I guess but couldn’t find any documentations). I have some date constants in one of these classes. The platform when loading, was trying to convert them to string and because of that it was raising error (still I don’t know why it should raise error). As of 2022R2 this was not the case.
