Blank page after migrating from owncloud 10 to nextcloud 12

Nextcloud version : 12.0.10
Operating system and version : Debian 9 (Stretch)
Apache or nginx version : Apache/2.4.25
PHP version : PHP 7.0.30-0+deb9u1

The issue you are facing:

Blank page after an update from owncloud 10.0.4 to nextcloud 12.0.10. The updater says the update is sucessful and tells me to " Go back to your Nextcloud instance to finish the update". Then, I click on the button and I arrive on a blank page. It is completely white.

I added an updater secret to go back to the updater page.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

  1. Owncloud 10.0.4
  2. Interface ‘OCP\Files\External\Config\IBackendProvider’ not found in /var/www/owncloud/apps/files_external_dropbox/lib/AppInfo/Application.php on line 32 -> I guess that is the reason why dropbox was not working after I upgraded from owncloud 9 to owncloud 10.
  3. Migrating to nextcloud 12.0.10

It seems there are unsupported apps enabled.

It is recommended to use the manual upgrade procedure for migrating from ownCloud to Nextcloud.

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/maintenance/migrating_owncloud.html?highlight=migrate
https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/12/admin_manual/maintenance/manual_upgrade.html?highlight=upgrade

The manual upgrade solves the issue. Now, I have issues with unvalid certificates for most of my apps but at least everything on my client desktops work.
