AppStore Publishing Guide

RWS provides several pathways for developers to distribute their applications and integrations across our product ecosystem. Whether you're building Studio plugins, Cloud add-ons, Language Weaver integrations, Tridion extensions, or solutions for other RWS products, this guide will help you navigate the current publishing process.

Current Publishing Process

Until our new self-service platform becomes available, the RWS team manages app publication and signing on behalf of developers. This ensures quality control and proper code signing for all distributed applications.

Available Services:

• Publish Apps on the AppStore - Distribute your apps publicly or privately through the RWS AppStore
• Sign Plugins for Private Distribution - Get your Trados Studio plugins properly signed for direct distribution
• Request a Developer License - Obtain necessary licenses and API credentials

What's Coming: AppStore Manager

We're developing AppStore Manager, a self-service platform that will empower developers to:

• Manage their own developer profiles
• Sign and publish apps independently
• Control app visibility and distribution settings
• Update listings and versions on-demand

Current Status: AppStore Manager is in beta testing. Learn more about the beta program.

Getting Started

1. Determine your target product(s) - Identify which RWS products your solution will integrate with
2. Obtain developer access - Request licenses or API credentials as needed
3. Build your solution - Use our APIs and SDKs to create your application
4. Choose distribution method - Public AppStore, private distribution, or custom endpoint
