I follow this tutorial to update ubuntu 18 to ubuntu 22 https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/app-platform-website-not-updating-with-deploy
I added
features:
- buildpack-stack=ubuntu-18
to the app spec
it did trigger build, but then it show “The build was skipped for component xxx” and said the build was done
but when I open the build pack information, it still use ubuntu 18

Hey!
Indeed, in order to upgrade your App’s Stack to Ubuntu 22, you just need to define it in your app spec file:
...
name: example-app
region: nyc
features:
- buildpack-stack=ubuntu-18
services:
- build_command: npm run build
environment_slug: node-js
github:
branch: master
deploy_on_push: true
repo: example/app-repo
http_port: 8080
instance_count: 2
instance_size_slug: professional-xs
name: reactions
run_command: npm start
source_dir: /
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/how-to/change-stack/
If you are still seeing the old version, what you could try doing is to do a force redeployment to clear any caches that might be causing the issue.

Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
