We are thrilled to announce the launch of Frappe Cloud Marketplace. Starting today, you will be able to activate a publisher account from your Frappe Cloud dashboard and start publishing your apps to the marketplace. Apps published on the marketplace will be visible on our marketplace page and users will be able to install it on their sites.
Amazing! Already excited to see many new great apps in the future (hopefully mostly open source so people can build on them, improve them and bring the community forward).
@buildwithhussain Hello. Thanks for your quick response. The part of publishing apps is clear. However, my question is about the marketplace itself. Will it be open to the entire ERPNext community to add to their self-hosted/self-deployed instances so they can download/install the custom apps or only Frappe Cloud customers can access apps published in the Marketplace?
The marketplace is primarily for FrappeCloud users. But there’s also links to GitHub repos from where non-FC users should be able to deploy the apps on their own instances as well.
I have a question: How do you ensure that there are no conflicts between apps? Is this the responsibility of the user?
Scenario: A FC user installs 2 apps that have no dependency on each other. Both apps customize the same field of a core doc type and keep this customization via “Export Customization”.
What will happen?
During the Q&A slot at today’s ERPNextConference, @rmehta and @adityahase addressed my former question: Currently there is no solution for conflicts. In addition to the problem I described in the context of conflicting customizations, it was also discussed that there are for example also conflicts due to DocTypes with identical names.
