ManageXR enables developers to publish applications as "Instant Apps" on our Marketplace. Once published, you can manage your Instant App through the Developer Portal in your ManageXR account.
Getting published for the first time
We welcome developers to submit high quality, free-to-try apps for publishing on the ManageXR Marketplace. To apply, please fill out this interest form.
Developer Portal & Instant App Statuses
Within your Developer Portal, you can see whether your Instant App is published to the Marketplace by checking its status.
Status | Description | Next Steps |
Draft | You have not finalized your submission yet. Your app is not live on the Marketplace. | Create Release Channels for your app and press Submit to submit for review. |
Submission Pending | You have submitted one or more versions of your application for review. Once our team approves the submission, it will get set live and you will be notified. | Wait for approval of submission. |
Live on Marketplace | Your app is available on the ManageXR Marketplace as an Instant App. | Keep your app up to date by following the publishing instructions in this doc. To remove your app, email discover@managexr.com. |
Publishing app updates
To publish a new version of your app:
Go to the Developer Portal tab
Find the release channel(s) you want to update
Open the Version dropdown and select the new version. Repeat as needed across your release channels. Note: you must already have uploaded the new app version to the VR Content section on ManageXR.
Click Publish Update.
🎊 The new version is now live! All devices with the Instant App currently installed will update to the newest version on their next sync.
Supporting new device models
To add support for a new device model:
Go to the Developer Portal tab
If the new device model uses the same app version as an existing release channel, open the Device Models dropdown and select the new model(s). If it uses a different build, create a new release channel.
Click Publish Update.
🎊 The new device models are now listed as supported!
Package name changes
In rare cases you may need to change the package name you are using for your Instant App. To use a new app version with a different package name:
Click Add Release Channel.
Select the new app and the version
Under Device models, choose the models that should move to the new app.
Click Publish Update. This swaps the Instant App on those devices.
If the old release channel has no supported models left, click on the "..." menu and press Delete to remove it.
🎊 The new version is now live! All devices with the Instant App currently installed will update to the newest version on their next sync.
Note: A supported model can only be associated with one release channel at a time. Adding a device model to the new channel removes it from the old one, and those devices switch to the new package on their next sync.
