How fix check that Splunk SDK for Python is up-to-date in AppInspect?

[Shukran]

Hello,

I have inherited the maintenance for an app and it has a couple of errors that need to be fixed.
I have fixed all the others except the one mentioned here.

category: app_cert_validation

A couple more files have the same error. It looks like all are Add-on Builder files and i am not sure how to fix this. Also, I cannot import the add-on in Splunk Add-on Builder as i dont have an original extracted version.

You should be able to download the SDK from https://pypi.org/project/splunk-sdk/ and then copy the splunklib directory to your app's bin directory.
