How to update the app listed on marketplace

Hi everyone πŸ‘‹

As time has passed, I have updated the app and in that process, I have changed the preview code for the app. So, can anyone tell me how can I update that? As the app is on the main marketplace, I guess someone having admin-level access can only edit that.

Apart from this, I want to know the category under which my app is listed on the Marketplace. Is it featured/mobile? I can't find my entry in any of the categories.

Any response will be highly appreciated. @Analyn Policarpio @Gunndarr Dotter

Any guidance regarding this @Murali Boddeda

@Vishal Vats Thanks for the update. Our marketplace team can answer this query.

Ok, will wait for that

Will the marketing team update this post, or should I tag someone to get this worked upon? @Murali Boddeda

@Vishal Vats you can search for an asset in marketplace with the name of the app or the author or content in the description. Marketplace homepage can only accommodate a handful to be featured.
To upgrade an app that you submitted, submit another version of the app and keep the version number higher and you can also mention in the description or otherwise to let the moderator know that this is upgrade for this asset.

@Suhas Bhat, thanks for your reply. Just a small request: Currently, my project sits under the Finance category (as of now, it's on Page 34). I guess it should be moved to the Forge/Mobile category.

Where do I need to submit the new app version, because previously the team contacted me and got the project details.

I guess I have to upload the asset via this page. Just have to submit the zipped folder, right?

Suhas, this gives an error, as the platform is treating it as a new asset!

How to do this now?

Hi @VersatileVats It seems like the kuid is not matching with the previous asset. Make sure it’s same as the previous version. If you don’t have it, I can help with that.

I hope this issue gets resolved at the earliest, because I am all good with the app not being updated for the demo marketplace users. But as an active user, I literally want to provide the updated stuff to everyone

Shalini, I finally resolved the issue. So, the issue is this:

For the marketplace to treat your uploaded asset as an update to an existing asset, it needs to have a properties.json file to look for the asset version, itemGuid, preview, and a couple of other important things, so that it can compare the newly uploaded package to the already-uploaded assets.

When we develop a project locally, there is no file such as properties.json in the project directory. There is a file named projectProperties.json, but that does not contain any of the required information for the marketplace. So, follow these steps:

      a. Go to the marketplace link for the asset to be updated
      b. Download the code, & spot the "properties.json" file
      c. Update the 'assetVersion' to a higher one
      c. Copy it and paste it into your local project's directory
      d. Then export it & upload it on the marketplace

I hope this will help many users :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
