Which Microsoft Entra App Requires Publisher Verification for Teams App Submission?

Question

We are developing a Teams bot to notify users about updates related to our web application, and we are considering publishing it on the Teams Store. We understand that Publisher Verification is required for submission.

Reference: Prepare for app submission checklist

As far as we know, Publisher Verification is typically associated with a Microsoft Entra app. In the context of publishing this Teams app, which Microsoft Entra app should undergo Publisher Verification?

Should it be the Microsoft Entra app that was automatically created when the bot resource was registered, and that shares the same ID as the bot?

Yes, it should be the Microsoft Entra ID application that was automatically created as a Service Principal instance object(under Enterprise Applications section), when the bot resource was registered under App Registrations section.

Please note that the Application ID will be the same in both the Enterprise Applications as well as in the App Registrations section where you have integrated the Bot application, so you can use the Microsoft Entra Application ID(Bot's App ID) from App Registrations or Enterprise Applications section(as both the App IDs are same).

I hope this above information provided is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
