Publish an app
App publishing is the process of validating and generating a version of the app that devices can execute. The publishing process must validate all app references, formula usage, and environment-sensitive data. After the publishing succeeds, a device app file is produced. The app file can then be transferred to a device and executed. All validation occurs during the publishing process, not during the app creation process.
Note:As of 9.5 SP5, you can set app publishing to run in the background while you perform other tasks. Select Configuration > System Settings, scroll to the Publishing section, and select the Allow publishing/promote to run in the background option. In addition, use the Background publishing check interval option to set how often you want the system to run an automatic background update.
