App Management

App Management provides a unified experience for installing, configuring, and managing App Builder applications in Adobe Commerce. Define your configuration schema once, and the system auto-generates the runtime actions and Admin UI, with no custom code required.

App developers define the configuration schema, metadata, and runtime actions for their applications. App managers associate and configure deployed apps within their Commerce instances.

Key benefits

• Auto-generated runtime actions. Define a configuration schema and the library automatically generates all required runtime actions.

• Auto-generated Admin UI. Configuration forms are rendered dynamically based on your schema, eliminating custom UI development.

• Scope inheritance. Configuration values cascade through Global, Website, Store, and Store View levels.

• Unified lifecycle management. Associate, configure, and unassociate apps from a single interface.

Requirements

Before using App Management, review that you have the following details:

App managers (Admin users) who associate apps must have App Management permissions. See Associate and configure apps for more information.

How it works

Follow these steps to set up and deploy an App Builder application with App Management:

1. Define app metadata. Add your app metadata in app.commerce.config.

2. Define your configuration schema. Create your configuration schema in app.commerce.config.

3. Generate actions. Run npx @adobe/commerce-lib-config init to auto-generate runtime actions.

4. Deploy. Build and deploy your app with the aio app build && aio app deploy command.

5. Link your app. Associate your app with a Commerce instance in the Admin.

6. Configure settings. Merchants configure settings through the auto-generated UI.
