Listing your Forge successor app on Marketplace

This page covers how to submit your Forge app to the Marketplace to replace your existing Connect app.

Billing considerations

If you're listing a paid app, you must always use the development or staging environment to test your app.

All installations of paid production apps are billed. This includes:

• if you install your production paid app on your Atlassian cloud instance

• Forge apps installed on enterprise sandbox instances (regardless if they're installed on the enterprise's production instance).

To mitigate these, create a promotion to discount the costs.

Step 1: Enable sharing

If you haven't already, you also need to enable sharing on your app. This will allow you to distribute it via the developer console.

1. Using the Forge CLI, deploy your app to the production environment.

2. In the developer console, choose the app you want to share.

3. Select Distribution in the left menu, and under 'Distribution controls', select Edit.

4. Select the Sharing option, fill in the app details, and select Save changes.

Step 2: List your app as a Forge app

Once sharing is enabled, you can publish a new app version to the Marketplace by selecting the Forge app.

Testing your Forge app

Once the Forge version's Marketplace listing is approved, you can install it via Universal Plugin Manager (UPM) or Marketplace.
