Deploying your app
Blackbird apps that you create using the SDK can be deployed to your Blackbird organization as a custom app. This tutorial assumes Visual Studio 2022.
Before deploying an app, make sure that it at least contains a class that implements IApplication
and a class that implements IConnectionDefinition
.
- Right-click on your project in the solution explorer and click Publish
- If you have not created a publish profile yet, create a publish profile that publishes to a local folder.
- Click Publish and then Open folder
- Create a
.zip
archive including all files in this folder - Go to Blackbird in your browser. On the app you want to update click New version and then Update App
- Upload the
.zip
file to the screen that pops up and click Update.
Note: If you are working on a Mac, make sure to delete the hidden _MACOSX folder in the zip archive before uploading it to Blackbird.
