First private install

Getting started

Create a developer account, register a private app and test a reviewed install without enabling public distribution.

1. Create an app

Open Developer Console, choose the closest install target and copy the one-time client secret. Jotify stores only its hash.

  • Keep the app private while developing.
  • Use HTTPS for every production callback and embedded URL.
  • Never put a client secret in browser or mobile code.
  • Use Jotify CLI to create, validate, preview and package the manifest.

2. Exchange an install session

Embedded apps receive a short-lived bootstrap value in the URL fragment. Exchange it once, cache the bounded context for the tab and remove the fragment.

import { exchangeJotifyInstallSession, requireJotifyScope } from '@jotify/app-sdk';

const context = await exchangeJotifyInstallSession();
requireJotifyScope(context, 'site:read');

3. Upload an immutable candidate

Run the CLI pack and deploy commands. Deploy uploads a draft candidate with a verified bundle digest; it never bypasses App Review or activates public distribution.

4. Submit for review

Declare URLs, scopes, surfaces, privacy terms and a changelog. Review is attached to that exact version; changing approved metadata returns the app to draft.

  • Development install
  • Automated security checks
  • Human review where required
  • Private or public distribution decision
