Study Notes

From Idea to Reality

After creating draft versions of iOS and Android apps in Salesforce, the next step is to get them tested and submitted to the App Store and Google Play for approval.

About Managed Packages

A managed package is a container that includes the components of a Salesforce application, used for installing apps in Salesforce orgs.
Managed packages are required for branded apps to fully function and include components that help the app run properly, such as push notifications.
Salesforce creates managed packages for iOS and Android apps after drafting the app versions.

Requesting a Managed Package

Requesting a managed package is a simple process, but it may take some time for Salesforce to create the packages.
Salesforce sends an email when the managed packages are ready to install.
Two separate emails are sent, one for the Android app and one for the iOS app.

Installing the Managed Package

The managed package needs to be installed in both production and sandbox orgs.
Installing the managed package allows for beta testing to begin.

Overview of the Beta Process

The beta process is like a dress rehearsal for the app's release, allowing for thorough testing before publishing.
Salesforce creates a beta of the branded app and submits it to Apple and Google for approval.
The beta tester receives an email with testing instructions and can install the app on a mobile device.

Requesting a Beta

Requesting a beta of the iOS and Android apps from Salesforce starts the beta testing process.
Salesforce submits the beta apps to the App Store and Google Play for approval.

Testing the App

The beta tester installs the beta app and tests it on a mobile device.
The tester provides feedback, and revisions can be made if necessary.

The Final Milestone

After beta testing, the final apps are submitted to Apple and Google for review.
Apple and Google review the apps to ensure they adhere to application store guidelines.
If approved, the apps are published in the App Store and Google Play.

Submit the App

Submitting the final apps to Apple and Google is the final step in the process.
If an app is rejected, Salesforce emails the issues and provides guidance on resolving them.
Once approved, the apps are published, and the process is complete.
