	9 <ul>

	10 <li> Added security: all apps and extensions are checked for Malware signals.</l i>

	11 <li> All apps are maintained with the latest version the developer has published .</li>

	12 <li> Ratings and reviews provide a great way to see the quality of applications. </li>

	13 </ul>

	14

	15 <p>For developers:</p>

	16

	17 <ul>

	18 <li> You can upload your app once and know that it will be distributed to all us ers.</li>

	19 <li> Payments and subscriptions are built in.</li>

	20 <li> Your app is more discoverable to users.</li>

	21 <li> Tools help you manage bugs and reviews from users.</li>

	22 </ul>

	23

	24 <p>The Chrome Web Store has a special <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstor e/developer/dashboard">dashboard for Developers</a> that lets you upload new app lications and update existing ones.</p>

	25

	26 <p>The functionality to upload new-style Chrome Apps has only just been enabled for developers.

	44 <p>You should see a screen that looks like this:</p>

	45

	46 <p><img src="/static/images/codelab/md.png" alt="Developer Dashboard Edit"></p>

	47

	48 <p>Done.... Well not quite, nearly.</p>

	49

	50 <p>Now you need to upload the assets and extra meta information about your appli cation before you can publish it to the world. These include:</p>

	51

	52 <ul>

	53 <li> The icon to display in the store</li>

	54 <li> The detailed description of your application; this will entice users to dow nload your app</li>

	55 <li> A screen-shot or video of your app (show the user what your app looks like) </li>

	56 <li> The primary category where your app is listed</li>

	57 <li> A small tile icon that will be displayed on the Chrome Web Store wall</li>

	58 </ul>

	59

	60 <p>There are many other fields, but the above items are mandatory.</p>

	61

	62 <p>If you are happy with everything, you can now publish your application to the public. If you are not quite ready, you can save the draft for later, or you ca n publish it to a group of testers.</p>

	66 <p>Note: if anyone wants to create a tool that lets users quickly create all the required assets, developers would love you and I will love you long time.</p>
