Upload the Canvas App Package

Now that you’ve packaged the canvas app, you’re ready to upload the package. This creates an installation link that you can provide to anyone who needs to install your canvas app in their organization.

  1. In Salesforce, from Setup, enter Packages in the Quick Find box, then select Packages.
  2. In the Packages list, click the Hello World Package link.
  3. On the Package Detail page, click Upload to publish the managed package.
  4. In the Version Name field, enter Winter 2014 Beta. Keep the default Version Number of 1.0 and Release Type of Managed—Beta.
  5. Click Upload.

    A canvas app can only be installed in an organization other than the one you’re developing in.

    Note

After the upload completes, the Version Detail page appears. The Installation URL field contains the URL that you can use to install the canvas app in another organization. You’ll also receive a notification email that contains the installation URL.
