Cannot start publishing my Google App Script as Add-on

I have created a Google App Script, which is bound to Document. But now I need to publish this script as an Add-on for our domain.

In order to publish the add-on, I have read the documentation below: https://developers.google.com/apps-script/add-ons/publish#development_checklist

As described in this article, I registered a version of my script through "Manage Version". But when I go to the "Publish" menu of the script editor, I only have the option "Deploy as web-app". I do not see any menu item "Deploy as add-on".

How can I start the publishing process for my App Script?

After submitting the form, have you received confirmation from Google that you're Script has been accepted for publishing, and that they will allow you to place it on the Add-on store? - HDCerberus

Before you can publish an add-on you must go through the application and review process:

https://developers.google.com/apps-script/add-ons/publish#apply_to_publish

The "Deploy as add-on" option will only appear after you are approved.

To deploy your add-on, you have to first get approval from the Apps Script Advisor. To do this you have to go to:

The Publishing Documentation

Then you have to fill out the Google Form there.

Hope this helps!

The reason you are not able to see that "Deploy as add-on" option because, you might be opening the normal Apps script console(script.google.com).

But if you want to publish your script code as an add-on, you have to open the script editor from the Doc or sheet which is bound to the script.

  1. Open the Doc, Tools--> Script editor.
  2. Then go to Publish, now you can see an option for "Deploy as add-on".

Hope that helps!
