Follow these steps to create templates with dependencies.

4. Load all templates into the same org.

5. Create apps from the supporting templates.

   • The supporting app templates must exist in the org, and the user creating the dependent app must have access to them.
   • At least one app from the supporting template at the right version and namespace must exist and have a Completed status.
