What is the correct process to make a Store app available on all required production instances?

[prachikomal]

Hi everyone,
I'm new to the platform and currently building an application package locally and stored in a repo. I want to understand the correct and recommended process to ensure that a Store app becomes available across all required production instances.

Could someone explain the steps or best practices involved?
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello @prachikomal , 

You can publish your app in company repository from development. Go to company applications, and then publish into the repository, this will make latest version available in the rest of the environments

Check this link for publishing :https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/zurich-application-development/page/build/applications/task/t...

and this for installing: https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/zurich-application-development/page/build/applications/task/i...

publish it to the app repository so that it becomes available on all of your instances belonging to same company.

Hi @prachikomal,

To make a Store/custom app available across instances, the recommended approach is to publish the application to the Application Repository, use it to distribute and test the app across non-prod instances, and then install the same published version on Production, instead of relying only on update sets.

Update sets can be used if repository publishing isn’t available, but the repository method is more reliable for full app deployments and upgrades.
