Home > App Store > Publish an application
The process of publishing an application is very simple. Before that you must follow these guidelines to create an application that will run smoothly for every user that installs it.
1. Fill the Application folder field with the application's folder absolute path (e.g. "apps/myApp"). Click Validate folder button. If a valid application.json file is found in that folder then the information about the application will be shown.
2. Select the application categories. You can select multiple categories.
3. Security settings: you must select at least one of the following options:
3.1. Application's files can be copied into account - select this option if you want to allow your code to be copied into the account of the user that installs your application. Advantage: users can play with your application and give you better suggestions about how you can improve it.
3.2. Run the application from repository - select this option if you want to allow the user to run the application from the repository. The files will not be copied into his account. Advantage: users will run the latest code for the version they've installed. That helps you fix eventual bugs or add improvements and users will not be required to reinstall the application.
We recommend to check both options and let the user choose what better suits him.
Republishing a version. When you try to publish an application, if the application name and version coincide with a previous one you will be notified that an override will occur. Republishing will override all the attributes of the previously published version: JSGI module, JSGI function, description, security settings, the category association and the application files. Consider this feature as adding a patch. The change will be noticed instantly by all users that run your application from the market.
