A developer has deployed a PCF component to a production environment as part of a managed solution. The component needs to be updated with a bug fix. The developer has made changes to the source code and wants to deploy the update without affecting other components in the same solution. What should the developer do?

Use pcf push to push the updated component directly to production.

Create a new unmanaged solution with the updated component and import it over the managed solution.

Increment the version of the managed solution and import it as a solution upgrade.

Delete the managed solution from production and import the new version as a fresh solution.

A developer is building a PCF field component that displays a formatted number. The component must refresh its displayed value whenever the record's underlying data changes, but it must not re-render when only the container's size changes. Which lifecycle method should the developer implement to handle the data refresh?

Implement updateView() to compare the new value with the current value and update the DOM if different.

Implement destroy() to clean up the old value and then call init() again.

Implement init() to set up a timer that polls the data source every second.

Implement getOutputs() to return the new value and let the framework update the DOM automatically.
