We are planning to upload a private Connect app. Will this impact the functionality or availability

[Navdeep Singh]

As we continue to move towards a cloud future together, publishing of new server apps is no longer available for partners, except for Fisheye and Crucible. You can continue to update your existing server apps to release critical fixes and security patches for customers on extended support program until Feb 15, 2025.

If you publish you app to the marketplace it will no longer be private ;)

Everyone will be able to install app on their Jira and read the descriptor.

If you developed a connect app and want to install it on your instance - you don't need to publish it to marketplace, you can enable private listings (in manage apps section on your Jira) and install it from link

We are already interested in private listings.
Will the private listings be affected with the cloud guidelines shared above ?

Can you reply ? @Lucas Modzelewski _Lumo_

If you are not publishing your app to the Marketplace and only intend to use it on your own instance, you can include whatever you like - Atlassian doesn't check if it works or if it’s secure. That responsibility falls entirely on you.

If you're working for a customer and developing an app for their business, you should follow best practices and guidelines to ensure you provide a reliable and secure solution. After all, as a developer, you want to deliver the best possible outcome.

However, if you plan to publish this app for others to install, it’s essential to ensure it works as intended and is secure. Atlassian will review it based on their standards, as it affects their customers. Maintaining reliable, functional, and secure apps is crucial for the Marketplace. Additionally, customers often check reviews, security tabs, and other details - they don’t want to risk compromising their work environment.
