Jon Mountjoy_ Metadata API - some success, though UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION when changing Tab visibility
I can successfully create an object and tab using the metadata API. However, the tab isn't visible by default (uh), so I have to change the user profile information to correct.
However, when I try and do this using the update() method I get
UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION
An unexpected error occurred.
Can you tell me how to do the tab visibility update? Am I doing something wrong?
The tab does exist, it does have that name, and the "Admin" profile does exist.
Thanks
Jon

Profile p = new Profile();
ProfileTabVisibility ptv = new ProfileTabVisibility("MyCustomObject__c",TabVisibility.DefaultOn );
ProfileTabVisibility[] tabVisibilities = new ProfileTabVisibility[] {ptv };
p.setTabVisibilities(tabVisibilities);
UpdateMetadata pum = new UpdateMetadata("Admin", p);
AsyncResult[] ars3 = (AsyncResult[]) metadatabinding.update(new UpdateMetadata[] { pum });
ProfileTabVisibility ptv = new ProfileTabVisibility("MyCustomObject__c",TabVisibility.DefaultOn );
ProfileTabVisibility[] tabVisibilities = new ProfileTabVisibility[] {ptv };
p.setTabVisibilities(tabVisibilities);
UpdateMetadata pum = new UpdateMetadata("Admin", p);
AsyncResult[] ars3 = (AsyncResult[]) metadatabinding.update(new UpdateMetadata[] { pum });

There is still a subtle security problem going on. I can now create the tab and grant visibility to the profile, as the code above now does with your addition. However, I can't actually "see" the tab when I then go and log in and add the tab.
In other words, the tab is now available to me to choose to add to my set of visible tabs, but it doesn't appear - even though I've added it to an app.
I can solve it by going to the profile page for system administrator, hitting "Edit", then hitting "Save"! ie. I don't change anything (that I know of). It's really odd.
Obviously I need to do more than just setTabVisiblity() on the profile - I'll let you know when I figure out just what that is....
Thanks,
Jon
Doing a diff -r dir1 dir2 on each directory of metadata, I see no changes.
So somehow doing an edit/save on a profile changes something, which isn't reflected in the metadata, and which makes everything start working.....hmmmmmm

i have same issue but i need to disable custom application from System Admin profile using Metadata API.i wrote java code for disabling custom app from Admin profile and it is giving error.please help me.

appVisibility.setApplication("Sales Automation");
appVisibility.setVisible(true);
profile.setApplicationVisibilities(new ProfileApplicationVisibility[] {appVisibility});
