Does manually adding an app prior to marketplace approval require re-adding post approval?

[Lana Nguyen]

My team is currently working on launching two connect apps into the marketplace (one for Confluence and one for Jira). Given the approval process is a few weeks, we want to try and still enable our customers to have early access by providing them instructions to manually upload the apps (via the Manage Apps admin page).

In doing so, once the apps are approved into the marketplace, would that require those who added the apps manually to re-add the marketplace apps separately? Or would it end up being the same thing?

We just don't want to accidentally cause too much friction by onboarding customers and then having them re-do the set up later.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Lana Nguyen welcome to Community!

Your customers will probably run into problems of not receiving updates to the app that become available with each new version you release since the manually installed app will not sync with the Marketplace installed version.

Btw, it sounds like you are becoming a Marketplace Partner. Check out the Developer Community and these guidelines for Partners on Community.
