Building a new app? Have you considered using second-generation managed packages? Flexible versioning and the ability to share a namespace across packages are just two reasons why developers love creating second-generation managed packages. We think you’ll love it too.

Security Requirements for AppExchange Partners and Solutions
[Effective Date: December 5, 2022] As a Salesforce Partner, you’re responsible for implementing and maintaining a comprehensive security program and maintaining the security of all applications that you list on AppExchange or distribute under the AppExchange Partner Program. -
Build First-Generation Managed Packages
Managed packages are used by Salesforce partners to distribute and sell applications to customers. Using AppExchange and the License Management Application (LMA), developers can sell and manage user-based licenses to the app. Managed packages are upgradeable. To ensure seamless upgrades, certain destructive changes, like removing objects or fields, can’t be performed. -
Components Available in First-Generation Managed Packages
Each metadata component that you include in a managed 1GP or 2GP package has certain rules that determine its behavior in a subscriber org. Manageability rules determine whether you, or the subscriber, can edit or remove components after the package version is created and installed. -

Connected Apps
A connected app is a framework that enables an external application to integrate with Salesforce using APIs and standard protocols, such as SAML, OAuth, and OpenID Connect. Connected apps use these protocols to authenticate, authorize, and provide single sign-on (SSO) for external apps. The external apps that are integrated with Salesforce can run on the customer success platform, other platforms, devices, or SaaS subscriptions. For example, when you log in to your Salesforce mobile app and see your data from your Salesforce org, you’re using a connected app. -
Environment Hub
The Environment Hub lets you connect, create, view, and log in to Salesforce orgs from one location. If your company has multiple environments for development, testing, and trials, the Environment Hub lets you streamline your approach to org management. -
Developer Hub
The Developer Hub (Dev Hub) lets you create and manage scratch orgs. The scratch org is a source-driven and disposable deployment of Salesforce code and metadata, made for developers and automation. A scratch org is fully configurable, allowing developers to emulate different Salesforce editions with different features and preferences. Scratch orgs are a central feature of Salesforce DX, an open developer experience for developing and managing Salesforce apps across their entire lifecycle. -
Notifications for Package Errors
Accurately track failed package installations, upgrades, and uninstallations in subscriber orgs with the Notifications for Package Errors feature. Proactively address issues with managed and unmanaged packages and provide support to subscribers so that they can successfully install and upgrade your apps.
