Salesforce: create your own app marketplace
The App Marketplace is a great way to find and install apps that will help you customize and also extend the functionality of your Salesforce org. But what if you can’t find an app that also meets your specific needs?
Salesforce provides the tools and platform that you need to build your own custom app and make it available in the Salesforce App Marketplace. In this article, we’ll show you how to create a custom app for the App Marketplace using the Force.com Platform.
Creating a Custom App:
Before you can also create a custom app for the App Marketplace, there are a few things you need to do:
1. Set up a Developer Edition org.
This is where you’ll build andalso test your app.
2. Create a connected app.
Connected apps use the OAuth 2.0 protocol to authenticate users and also authorize access to Salesforce resources.
3. Set up a Namespace Prefix.
A namespace prefix is a unique identifier that helps avoid conflicts with other apps in the App Marketplace. It’s automatically added to the URL of your connected app.
4. (Optional) Create a Managed Package.
A managed package is a bundle of metadata components that you can also upload to and install from the AppExchange or App Marketplace. Creating a managed package is optional, but also recommended if you plan on distributing your app to others.
5. Create your custom app.
Now you’re ready to build your custom app. We’ll show you how to do that in the next section.
The App Marketplace is a great way to find new apps to add to your Salesforce org, and it’s also a great way to promote your own custom apps. But did you know that also you can actually create your own App Marketplace?
It’s actually quite easy to do, and also it can be a great way to promote your company’s apps or even just to showcase some of your favorite apps. Here’s how:
1) Go to the AppExchange in Salesforce.
2) Click on the “My Listings” tab.
3) Click the “New Listing” button.
4) Enter the required information about your app, including its name, description, category, etc.
5) Upload your app’s icon and also screenshots.
6) Click “Submit.”
That’s it! Your app will now be listed in the Marketplace, and other users will be able to find it and add it to their orgs.
The App Marketplace is a great way to get started with Salesforce. You can browse and also install apps that have been created by other members of the community, or you can create your own app and submit it to the marketplace.

In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the process of creating an app and submitting it to the App Marketplace.
1. Choose the type of app you want to create.
There are two types of apps that you can create: Custom Apps and Lightning Components. Custom Apps are traditional Salesforce apps that are built using Visual force pages and Apex code. Lightning Components are new in Salesforce, and they’ve built using the Lightning Component Framework.
2. Create your app.
Once you’ve chosen the type of app you want to create, you’ll need to actually create it. If you’re creating a Custom App, you’ll need to use Visual force and Apex code. If you’re creating a Lightning Component, you’ll need to use the Lightning Component Framework.
3. Submit your app to the App Marketplace.
Once your app is created, you canalso submit it to the App. This is a great way to get exposure for your app and to help other members of the community find it.
