Gsuite Marketplace publish process: 404 error

Question

Looking into building some Gsuite Marketplace apps, but we have having issues at the publish time already.

1. Publishing an app following these steps makes the app to be accessible from the Chrome Marketplace. (e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/qwertzuiopasdfghjkl/publish-accepted)

2. Using Chrome web store app link (e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/app-name/qwertzuiopasdfghjkl) redirects to a Gsuite link (e.g. https://gsuite.google.com/marketplace/app/qwertzuiopasdfghjkl?pann=cwsdp&hl=en-US) but brings a 404 page.

3. Waiting seems to do the job (url works after a couple of days - approval)

4. Changing app type from "Private" to "Unlisted" break it completely; even waiting up to a week, the link never works again.

My questions are:

• How do you switch between "Visibility options" without breaking your app?

• How do you guys deal with updating publishing apps on Gsuite Marketplace and keep it working?

Cheers!

Answer 1

Every new update requires a new installation. So everytime you make changes whether feature or visibility settings, treat it as if you were uploading a new app.

If you change the visibility, it will undergo a review process as if it were a new app.

Users who have already installed your app will still be able to use it.
