4 All Chrome applications are distributed through the <a href="https://chrome.goog le.com/webstore">Chrome Web Store</a>.
5 For those not familiar with the store, it provides several benefits to users and developers.</p>
6
7 <p>For users:</p>
8
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.

Renato Mangini (chromium) 2013/02/13 22:55:33 Done.
27 We need as much <a href="https://docs.google.com/a/google.com/forms/d/1x3309vpp- KTiHqZWOCQhjVrIWxkm0wEBp2IWMG2ywbU/viewform?id=1x3309vpp-KTiHqZWOCQhjVrIWxkm0wEB p2IWMG2ywbU">feedback</a> as possible on the process.</p>
28
29 <p>The process of uploading apps is simple:</p>
30
31 <ol>
32 <li> Compress your applications root directory (the folder containing the manife st.json file).</li>
mkearney1 2013/02/12 22:22:11 Wrap manifest.json in <code>.
Renato Mangini (chromium) 2013/02/13 22:55:33 Done.
33 <li> Visit the <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/developer/dashboard"> dashboard</a> and click &quot;Upload new application&quot;.
34 <img src="/static/images/codelab/developerdashboard.png" alt="Developer Dashboar d"></li>
35 <li> Find the file in your system.

38 <li> Upload.</li>
39 </ol>
40
41 <p class="note"><b>Note:</b> To walkthrough the publishing process, you can use any of the sample apps in this code lab.
42 Just make sure it contains the manifest.json.</p>
mkearney1 2013/02/12 22:22:11 Wrap manifest.json in <code>.
Renato Mangini (chromium) 2013/02/13 22:55:33 Done.

mkearney1 2013/02/13 23:17:57 Still not showing 'manifest.json' in <code>. On 2
Renato Mangini (chromium) 2013/02/14 15:45:27 Done.

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>
63
64 <p><img src="/static/images/codelab/publish.png" alt="Developer Dashboard Publis h"></p>
65
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>
