Overview

In the Overview section, you can see the following components to manage your app:

  • Dashboard

    • In the Dashboard under Overview section, you can see the following components for your app:

      • Teams store validation: App validation tool checks your app package against the test cases Microsoft uses when reviewing your app.
      • Announcement: Latest updates of your apps on Developer Portal.

      The screenshot is an example that shows the Overview page of the app you created in Developer Portal.

  • Analytics

    In the Analytics under Overview section, you can get an overview of your app's usage, engagement, and other insights. For more information, see how to analyze your app's usage.

Configure

To install and render your app in Teams, you must include a set of configurations that Teams recognizes. To upload your apps in Teams, you need to have app manifest, which contains all the app details to display your app in Teams. This can be achieved with the help of components and tools that are available in Developer Portal.

The screenshot is an example that shows how to configure features to manage and access your app in Developer Portal.

In the Configure section, you can see the following components to manage and access your app:

  • Basic information: This section shows and allows you to edit the App names, App ID, Descriptions, Version, Developer information, App URLs, Application (client) ID, and Microsoft Partner Network ID (CCP ID).
  • Branding: This section allows you to add Color icon and Outline icon in .png format.
  • App features: This section allows you to add the following features to your app:
    • Personal app
    • Bot
    • Connector
    • Scene
    • Group and channel app
    • Messaging extension
    • Meeting extension
    • Activity feed notification

    Note

    Connector isn't available for Government Community Cloud (GCC) tenants.

  • Permissions: This section allows you to give Device permissions, Team Permissions, Chat/Meeting permissions, and User Permissions for your app.

    Note

    The maximum limit for RSC permissions is 16.

  • Single sign-on: Bot registered on Microsoft Entra ID supports single sign-on (SSO). If a bot is registered on Bot Framework portal (or within the Developer Portal under Bot management), then a bot doesn't support SSO, and you have to register your bot on Microsoft Entra ID to support SSO. For a bot registered on Microsoft Entra ID, add the Application ID URI. To get Application ID URI from Microsoft Entra ID, see how to use SSO authentication for bots.
  • Languages: This section allows you to set up or change the language of your app.
  • Domain: This section allows you to add the domains to load your apps in the Teams client, such as *.example.com.

Advanced

In the Advanced section, you can see the following components to manage your app in Developer Portal:

  • Owners

    Each app includes an Owners page, where you can share your app registration with others in your org. You can add Administrator and Operative role to manage who can change the settings of your app. The Operative role has a permission, such as updating an app's configuration. The Administrator role has the permissions, such as updating an app's configuration, adding or removing owners, and deleting an app. If there are no active owners for an app, Tenant admins can own the apps by entering the app ID in Teams Developer Portal.

    To add an owner:

    1. In the Advanced section, select Owners.
    2. Select Add owners.
    3. Enter a name and select a user ID from the dropdown list.
    4. Under Role, select Operative or Administrator.
    5. Select Add.

  • App content: You can configure your app with the following features:

    • Loading indicator: Displays an indicator to let users know your hosted app content (for example, Tabs and Dialogs (referred as task modules in TeamsJS v1.x)) is loading.
    • Full-screen mode: Displays a personal app without an app header. It's supported for the published apps to your org.
    • Supported channel types: Lists the non-standard channel types that the app supports.
    • Default group capability: For apps that support multiple group capabilities, such as teams, group chat, or meetings, select the default capability to navigate users when you add your app from the Microsoft Teams Store.

  • Environments

    You can configure environments and global variables to help transition your app from your local runtime to production. Global variables are used across all environments.

    To set up an environment, follow these steps:

    1. In the Developer Portal, select the Apps that you're working.
    2. Go to Environments under Advanced section.
    3. Select + Add an environment>Add.

    • Global variables

      1. Select Add a global variable to create configuration variables for your environment.

      To use global variables:

      Use the variable names instead of hard-coded values to set your app configurations.

      1. Enter {{ in any field in the Developer Portal. A dropdown with all the variables you've created for the chosen environment along with the global variables appears.
      2. Before downloading your app package (for example, when getting ready to publish to the Teams Store), select the environment you want to use. Your app configurations update automatically based on the environment.

  • Plan and pricing: You can link a Software-as-a-Services (SaaS) offer that you've created in the Partner center for your app.

  • Admin settings:

    • App Customization: You can customize your app by selecting different properties, such as Name, Short description, Small icon, and other properties.
    • Block app by default: You can block your app by default for users until a tenant admin selects to enable it.

Develop

In the Develop section, you can open and develop your app in Teams Toolkit in the Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio. For more information, see develop your app with Teams Toolkit.

Publish

In the Publish section, you can publish your app to your org or to the Teams Store.

  • App package: The app package describes how your app is configured that includes app features, required resources, and other important attributes in manifest. The app definition refers to the configuration and settings associated with the application. The Icon tab shows the icon used for your app.

  • App validation: Evaluate your app package based on the test cases that Microsoft uses to review your app, app manifest, basic information of your app, and bot capability. The App validation tool identifies any errors or warnings in your app package and provides guidelines for resolution. For more information on Microsoft test cases, see Teams Store validation guidelines and Commercial marketplace certification policies.

    If your app fails any test case, you can review the guidelines and make necessary updates to your app package based on the Microsoft test case results. You can also download your app package and validation report.

    Note

    App validation is supported only for the apps with bot capability.


    Validate your app package

    To ensure that your app functions as expected in Teams, use the App validation tool to check your app package against Microsoft's test cases:

    1. In Teams Developer Portal, select Apps from the left pane and select your app.

    2. Go to Publish > App validation > Get Started.

      Screenshot shows you the App validation in Teams developer portal.

    3. Select all the checkboxes under Validation Acknowledgment and select the Start Validation.

      Screenshot shows you the App validation acknowledgment of your app package.

      Note

      • Before you start validation, resolve any app manifest errors.
      • You can submit only one validation request for a particular app at any given time. After the current validation completes, you can initiate a subsequent request.

      Teams Developer Portal now starts to validate your app package:

      Screenshot shows you the App validation in progress.

      The app validation status is updated as follows:

      1. Created: After you select Start Validation.
      2. In progress: App validation is initiated.
      3. Completed: App validation is completed.

      You can select Refresh Status to retrieve latest validation status when the validation is In progress status.

      Screenshot shows the app validation status.

    4. After validation, it shows a list of test cases your app has passed or failed. The following are the app validation test result status available:

      Status Validation Result Description
      Success Complete Pass No issues.
      Warning Complete Pass Fixing this issue is optional but recommended.
      Error Complete Fail Fixing the issue is required to successfully publish the app.
      Skipped Incomplete NA We weren't able to continue the validation check. This may be a temporary issue. We recommend you rerun the test later.

      Screenshot shows you the app validation tool result.

    Note

    The app validation tool evaluates your app package based on the test cases Microsoft uses for app review prior to submission to the Microsoft Teams Store. Resolve errors or warnings and read the App submission checklist before submitting your app.
