  2. On the App Configuration page, in the “Developer Info” section, fill in details about your app and save your changes.

Create an Application from a Manifest

  3. Click Choose file to select the manifest file that you want to use to create the application.

    Note: the file must be in JSON format (with extension .json or .txt) and contain all the required fields.

  4. Use the preview to verify that the manifest file looks correct and then click Create application.
  5. View the auto-created app configuration to verify that all the field values are correct and make changes as needed.
