Cause
The below is a snippet from the the Support Updates blog for June 27th 2018, more information is available there.
With the June 2018 Qlik Sense Enterprise release, Qlik will introduce updates which streamline the Qlik Sense client packaging through the introduction of Webpack, a new technology for module bundling JavaScript® applications. The introduction of Webpack technology will impact a subset of extensions and mashups that make use of unsupported internal Qlik Sense libraries or “private libraries” as described below. Any solution, i.e. mashups or extensions that make use of a “private” Qlik Sense library should continue to function, but as with all upgrades, testing of your solutions is strongly recommended. To address the need for use of these unsupported private libraries, Qlik will explore additional public APIs in forthcoming releases.
