Update an extension app registration

View as Markdown

You have two options for updating an extension app’s registration:

  • Use a form: This guided process enables you to update registration details by filling out fields on pages in the Developer Console.
  • Use an app manifest file: In this process, you update registration details by populating values in a JSON file that you upload or paste in the Developer Console app manifest editor.

The Developer Console stores extension app settings in a JSON app manifest file, regardless of whether the app registration was created via the form-based process or by building the manifest file directly. Any extension app’s registration details can be updated either through the form-based process or by updating the manifest file.

See Form-based and app manifest method comparison for guidance about which method might be more useful.

Extension app statuses that affect updates

You cannot update an extension app’s registration details if its status is:

  • In Review. To update an extension app registration that’s in review, you must first cancel the publishing process to restore it to a Draft state. After the update, you’ll need to resubmit the app if you want to proceed with the review.
  • Approved. To update an extension app registration that’s been approved for publication to the App Center but not published yet, you’ll need to cancel the publishing process to restore it to a Draft state, and then resubmit the app for review if you still want to publish it to the App Center.
  • Rejected. To update an extension app registration that’s been rejected during the review, you’ll need to cancel the publishing process to restore it to a Draft state, make changes based on review comments, and then resubmit the app for review if you still want to publish it to the App Center.
  • Live. To update the registration for a live extension app on the App Center, you must submit a new patch version for review. See App Versioning for details on what qualifies as a patch version update. Major and minor version updates will be supported in a future release.
