We have developed a Forge app and want to limit the scope to specific projects.
By using a condition on confer level, we can limit the availability to pre-defined projects.
But we would like to let a project admin decide to enable (or disable the Forger App by a toggle under Project Admin > Apps > “myApp”.
Is there a code example available?

Welcome to the Atlassian developer community @IngoWenke,
I’m not aware of any code examples but I have seen apps do this. It’s mostly “case by case”. I think many have used project properties.
That said, Atlassian is already coming at this problem from the other direction. Specifically the app-access-rule is a future feature that would let admins restrict apps from having access to specific Confluence spaces or Jira projects. It might be worth waiting a little to make sure your approach fits well with that new capability.
@ibuchanan is there a recommended solution by now?
Yes. Admins can block app access. The feature is available for Confluence and Jira. According to the announcement blog, this has been generally available to all customers for about a week.
Thanks for the response @ibuchanan I took a look to the feature you mentioned but according to what I am seeing (on the attached image) this feature provides ability to block ALL apps from accessing different data which is a bit different from what I am looking for.
In my case I am looking for the functionality where the admin by a toggle for example they can select which projects a given Forge app will be visible/usable from. And if the project is disabled the app should be hidden for example when the user open issues on that particular project
Please let me know if I am missing something from your answer or the docs
Yes, I confirm your understanding of the feature.
No, there are no features of the platform that would do that, beyond what I mentioned earlier.
Hi @ibuchanan,
Sorry for posting on a solved topic. I have a related question that points at a limiting factor regarding the usage of App Access Rules as a means to restrict apps from accessing certain Confluence spaces. I opened a new topic for it today: App Access Rule limits
Please take a look and let me know what you think.
Regards,
Gabor
