The setting "Enable Individual Install" has recently been added in a Google Apps Markeptplace configuration, but I was not able to find its meaning. Does anyone has an idea ?
Thanks
I got an email from a google representative today with the following:
We’re excited to let you know that you will soon be able to enable anyone within an organization to install your app directly from the Google Apps Marketplace. To prepare for this new feature, you should choose whether to enable or disable individual user installs for your app.
Please follow these instructions to enable individual user installs:
Navigate to your Google Developer Console.
Select your Google Apps Marketplace project.
Click APIs under the APIs & auth section.
Click the gear icon next to Google Apps Marketplace SDK.
Check Enable Individual Install
Click Save changes.
This feature is only available for apps in Google Apps Marketplace that use OAuth 2.0. To learn how to upgrade your OAuth 1.0 app to OAuth 2.0, please see these upgrade instructions. Please also note, only individual users of Google Apps for Business, Google Apps for Education, and Google Apps for Government will be able to install your app.
This feature was announced today in a blog post. To quote:
Now, any Google Apps user can install these applications by logging into Google Apps, clicking the app launcher icon , clicking More, and then clicking More from Apps Marketplace.

Summary: when other users find my Google Slides add-on in the Google Workspace Marketplace and try to install it, they hit a screen saying they need to request access. When they click the button to request access, it sends me (the script owner) a request to share the script file, which should not be necessary. How do I fix this?
I have a Google Slides add-on which has been publicly listed in the marketplace for years (predating the rebranding to Google Workspace). I last updated it in 2019, and recently I wanted to publish another update.
Since this is an old project, I had to go through migrating the add-on to its own standard GCP project and then getting OAuth verification for the (not very sensitive) scopes it needed. This is all done now. All throughout, the add-on has continued being listed in the Google Workspace Marketplace, even though no new users could use it.
All that is done, but other users are still unable to install the add-on from the Marketplace. Now, when they try to do so, they'll get a small new window pop up saying they need to request access - seemingly to the script file of the add-on. This shouldn't be necessary. Does anybody know why it's happening?
If you want to try yourself, the add-on is called Superuser Tools, and the Marketplace listing is here.
I spent 3 days to try publishing app in my sandbox gsuite domain. In the marketplace.
I'm trying to publish an app to my own domain. Whatever I'm doing I'm getting this error message
I followed the instructions here: https://developers.google.com/gsuite/marketplace/listing
and follow the instruction of all the guides.
I tried to publish using the chrome web store, I created a manifest, with and without project_id, whatever I'm doing I don't see the app in the "for your domain" section in the marketplace.
The only place I somehow success is when my using using Google Docs, and click "Add addon:", in the addons menu. They see my app, but not in the marketplace.
I have a specific question:
I'm trying to understand what this error message means.
The Publish tab is currently used only by Gmail add-ons, which do not require publishing to Chrome Web Store.
For the other add-ons it's required to have a Chrome Web Store listing.
The api_console_project_id is required in the manifest.
We have developed a Google Apps Marketplace app and recently received reports from our users, that the App Launcher ("grid") wouldn't show our app's icon anymore.
This is a screenshot how it looks for my personal Google Apps account when I'm on www.google.com:
And this is a screenshot from my account when I'm on admin.google.com/AdminHome:
As you can see, only when I'm on the Google Apps account page, I can see icons of Marketplace apps. But it used to show up anywhere, also on www.google.com.
So Google must have changed something. The question is: can we get it back to the old behaviour?
PS: I know that it's just a link and one could simply bookmark it, but some of our customers are not really 'tech-savvy' and believe our app is 'gone completely' now. This is causing confusion everywhere.
I would like to make a google chrome extension available through the Google Apps Marketplace. As far as I can tell, the extension complies with all the rules, uses oauth correctly and so on. But even though after an administrator enables our app we will have access to all the users in the account's oauth credentials and the individual users will see the app in the universal navigation menu, they won't have the extension installed for their browser. Is the usual way to deal with this issue to use the link in the universal navigation menu to direct users without the extension to a page where they are directed to install the extension?
Unfortunately the Google Apps Marketplace doesn't currently support the automatic installation of Chrome Extensions. Administrators can pre-install Chrome Extensions for their entire domain, but through a different process:

A few weeks ago, we completed the approval process to get our app listed in the Google Apps Marketplace. It does appear on that site and all is fine. However it is not listed in the contextual Apps Marketplace widget in the Google Apps admin console.
I've read in another post that since November 19th the Apps Marketplace has a new back-end based on the Chrome Web Store, and that only the apps added since then appear in the contextual widget.
So my question is: what will happen to the apps listed in the "old" Marketplace? Will they get automatically migrated to the new back-end at some point? Or do we need to start over the whole publishing process again using the new Marketplace SDK?
We will be launching an API in a few weeks to allow developers to automatically move the domains that installed the legacy (OAuth 1/OpenID) based apps to the new Chrome Web Store (and OAuth2) based Apps Marketplace.
In the mean time, the first step is to create a new listing using the GAM SDK following the steps in the docs so that new domains can install the modern app and then you can migrate the older domains when we launch the API.
