Hi,

I’m puzzled on how to publish my app:

- I made it “Sharing”
- When I go on the " Publish a new app" page and select “Forge app” it shows “No forge apps available”

Can you help me figuring out what doesn’t fit ?

Thanks.

You may have to follow the steps to [list your app on the marketplace](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/creating-a-marketplace-listing/) (which includes getting it approved).

Thanks a lot for your answer, I’m trying but the documentation is quite unclear, and I don’t even know what is being analysed to check if the app is publishable.

Is there a repo with a working example I can copy?

Does it matter if I deploy to dev or staging or production to make the app publishable?

From this page [https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/creating-a-server-app-package/](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/creating-a-server-app-package/)  
in the files to provide  
**atlassian-plugin.xml** is described as " Describes a app and the modules contained within it" but then the example lists images:

```auto
<atlassian-plugin key="${project.groupId}.${project.artifactId}" name="${project.name}" plugins-version="2">
    <plugin-info>
        <description>${project.description}</description>
        <version>${project.version}</version>
        <vendor name="${project.organization.name}" url="${project.organization.url}" />

        <param name="plugin-icon">images/pluginIcon.jpg</param>
        <param name="plugin-logo">images/pluginLogo.jpg</param>
        <param name="plugin-banner">images/pluginBanner.jpg</param>
        <param name="vendor-icon">images/vendorIcon.jpg</param>
        <param name="vendor-logo">images/vendorLogo.jpg</param>
    </plugin-info>
    ...

</atlassian-plugin>

```

**atlassian-plugin-marketing.xml** seems to give the app main page informations, is it where we can include a video to present the app as well? And if so how?

The app needs to be deployed to production, for sure.

The page you linked is not for Forge apps. For [Forge apps](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/listing-forge-apps/), it depends if you want it to be paid. If so, follow the steps linked there for licensing. Then create a partner profile and [submit for approval](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/creating-a-marketplace-listing/#submit-your-app-for-approval).

Thanks @AaronCollier.  
You allowed me to stop investigating the server listing that doesn’t apply to forge app and just figure out that I made the mistake to create an unlinked account for the partner profile… My bad.

Thanks again for your help!!
