Why do standalone applications built using "Simulink Compiler" with "boolean" values yield unexpected results in MATLAB R2024b?

I have an app where I am using a button to switch on a light. I am creating a variable "newVar" based on the status of the button as per the user input.

When I run this app from "App Designer", it works as expected.

When I package the same app and run it as a standalone application, it does not run as expected.

My code for declaring "newVar" is:

function InOneValueChanged(app, event)

     value = app.InOne.Value;

     newVar = Simulink.Simulation.Variable('andIn1',boolean(value));

     simulink.compiler.modifyParameters(app.modelName,newVar);

end

The issue is in function "InOneValueChanged" due to the usage of boolean. "boolean" is not a deployable function.

The fix is to change boolean to logical which is deployable.

newVar = Simulink.Simulation.Variable('andIn1',logical(value));

The developers are aware of this and will consider adding support for "boolean" in future releases.
