Changelog

We are updating the look and feel of the "App details" flows in the partner portal. The functionality of the different components will remain the same and the updates are limited to visual changes only.

Initially, a small percentage of partners will gain access to these updates, with a phased rollout planned for all partners to complete by Feb 14, 2025. For more information, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide(QRG) here.

Permission changes towards the reduction of domain egress of your app are now treated as a a minor update.

For example, while previously triggering major updates, the following external egress permission changes now trigger a minor update:

• Updating {"IMAGES":["*"]} to {"IMAGES":["any list of domains"]}

• Updating *.media.atlassian.com to https://api.media.atlassian.com

As such, we encourage partners to improve the trust posture of their apps by reducing the egress or improving the transparency of the app egress.

As announced early Sep https://community.developer.atlassian.com/t/we-are-making-app-management-easier-for-our-cloud-admins/83303 we are now in the final phase of moving the in-product app management experience (UPM) across to Connected Apps which can be accessed from admin.atlassin.com.

The app management entry point in products will remain and we will start to progressively direct admins to Connected Apps

Roll out start: 10th Feb 2025

Roll out end: 19th Feb 2025

We understand many of you are just getting back from the holidays and are also gearing up for Atlas Camp next week. Due to this, we will be pushing the hard block from Jan 31, 2025 to Feb 14, 2025 to provide you with some additional time, learn more here

For apps still in violation, we will work in close collaboration with you, and you will receive further communication outlining the subsequent steps to resolve the violation.

On Feb 15, 2024, we officially ended support for our server products. Customers were no longer able to purchase, renew, upgrade, or receive any further support for all Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, Bamboo, and Crowd server apps.
In June 2025, we will be removing the Server listings from the Atlassian Marketplace. Post these changes for all apps (besides Fisheye and Crucible) -

1. Server-only app listings will be removed from the Marketplace.

2. Server pages for apps with server hosting type will be removed.

For more information and nuances, please check this QRG.

Following the deprecation announcements on October 24, 2024, and November 14, 2024, we have now removed the V1 Marketplace APIs.

Please switch to the applicable V2 alternatives listed in the More Details section.

We are removing mirrors of third-party packages such as maven-central from packages.atlassian.com

Dear Partners,

We are updating the look and feel of the "Create New Version" and "Make Version Public" flows in the partner portal for version publishing. These updates are aimed at simplifying the app version creation workflow. The functionality of the different components and the creation experience will remain the same; these updates are limited to visual changes only.

Initially, a small percentage of partners will gain access to these updates, with a phased rollout planned for all partners to complete by Feb 14, 2025. For more information, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide(QRG) here.

p.s Please note that the “Publish App” UI will not undergo any changes as part of this.

To help with discount information for zero-dollar transactions, we have now included the discount amount to provide context on the total discount amount for the given license. This information was also present earlier but only for a limited number of $0 transactions; it has now been populated for all $0 transactions that have discounts.

Data can be seen in the purchaseDetails.discounts array field of the transaction API. Partners can fetch this data using the lastUpdated field of this API. Change is live in production starting Jan 13, 2025(today).

We have back-filled the data for zero-dollar transactions for approximately 86,000 transactions across partners, and we will provide this discount information for future zero-dollar transactions. This includes all currently active and historical $0 transactions in the past that have a discount associated with them.

This is a reminder about the changelog announcements issued on October 24, 2024, and November 14, 2024, concerning the deprecation of legacy REST APIs.

The deprecation of Marketplace V1 REST APIs will take effect on January 10, 2025 (Friday). These APIs are intended for Atlassian usage and will not be supported after this date.

Please review your current implementations and make any necessary adjustments before January 10, 2025, to ensure continued functionality.

See the More details section for the APIs list.

From Jan 6, 2025, the use of web triggers will exclude apps from the Runs on Atlassian eligibility criteria.

This is because Forge web triggers currently allow for the egress of customer data returned in response to third-party requests.

While we understand that using web triggers is unavoidable for some use cases involving external systems, we’re also looking to uphold the integrity of the Runs on Atlassian badge for customers.

Atlassian Marketplace APIs will now share data for lifetime free licenses data to our partners through the licenses report.

This license data for life time free apps is based on analytics data generated during the installations of these apps and has been transformed into free licenses. These licenses will only be available via the APIs and not through the user interface on the Marketplace portal.

Partners will be able to access this data via the existing license report APIs (GET as well as EXPORT) using the new showLifeTimeFreeLicenses filter:

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/rest/2/vendors/{vendorId}/reporting/licenses?showLifeTimeFreeLicenses=true - Get life time free apps licenses data

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/rest/2/vendors/{vendorId}/reporting/licenses/async/export?showLifeTimeFreeLicenses=true - Initiate async export of life time free apps licenses data

• https://marketplace.atlassian.com/rest/2/vendors/{vendorId}/reporting/licenses/export?showLifeTimeFreeLicenses=true - Export life time free apps licenses data

More details section contains the applicable fields from licenses report for these new free licenses.

Partners can start accessing this data from Jan 6, 2025. We highly recommend all partners to take a look at the quick reference guide to understand more about this data.

Confluence cloud apps on Atlassian Marketplace now offer up to 150k user tier pricing in line with Confluence cloud. The following new tiers are now available:

• 50,001-60,000

• 60,001-70,000

• 70,001-80,000

• 80,001-90,000

• 90,001-100,000

• 100,001-110,000

• 110,001-120,000

• 120,001-130,000

• 130,001-140,000

• 140,001-150,000

Owing to the upcoming holiday season and partner requests, we are providing a final extension for existing apps with unresolved naming violations, relaxing the hard block for Marketplace apps until January 31, 2025.

Partners with open tickets related to app name violations must address these issues by the new deadline. Failure to do so will render their app names non-compliant with Atlassian's brand guidelines. We have been sending reminders and will continue to provide updates and support to help you transition smoothly before the deadline.

Key Updates and Timelines:

• Hard Block for Current Apps with Violations:

  • A hard block for existing app names with violations will take effect on January 31, 2025. All apps must be updated to comply with the guidelines before this date.

• Soft Block for Existing Apps:

  • As of October 29, 2024, a soft block has been in place for existing apps with naming violations. Partners receive warnings during app version or name updates, but updates are not currently blocked.

• Hard Block for New Apps:

  • Effective October 29, 2024, all new apps must comply with updated branding guidelines. Non-compliant app names will not be accepted for approval submissions.

We appreciate your cooperation as we work together to maintain a consistent and fair Marketplace.

We’re introducing a new program Runs on Atlassian as a Preview on Forge.

The program helps customers identify Forge apps that have no data egress and use data residency-enabled storage on the Atlassian Marketplace via a Runs on Atlassian badge.

To know more about the Runs on Atlassian program, visit https://go.atlassian.com/runs-on-atlassian.
To check if your app is eligible for Runs on Atlassian, go to the Forge CLI documentation.
