Public app reviews for the elementary AppCenter Flatpak repository

AppCenter Reviews

This repository is used for reviewing apps and deploying them to the elementary AppCenter Flatpak repository. You can view your or any other app's review status by checking the open pull requests.

⚠️ Note: The new AppCenter Dashboard is unfinished and under development. For now, apps can be submitted as pull requests against this repository.

Submitting an app

First, make sure your app adheres to the publishing requirements, then submit a pull request against this repository following the structure below.

Review process

All apps and updates in the review queue are listed as open pull requests. Once a pull request is approved and merged by a reviewer, that app will be published to the AppCenter Flatpak repository. If any questions or requested changes come up during the review process, the reviewer will tag the app developer in the conversation on the pull request if possible.

Repository structure

All app releases in this repository are found under the applications/ folder and follow this schema <rdnn>.json. The JSON file looks like this:

{
  "source": "https://github.com/danrabbit/harvey.git",
  "commit": "45dd52660c0069207fa4b0c1fcf7ac6d7157d34b",
  "version": "1.0.1"
}

The source field needs to be a publicly accessible Git repository. The commit field is the full Git sha for the release we are building. And the version needs to be a SemVer tag.

⚠️ Note: Until the new AppCenter Dashboard is finished, updates must also be submitted for review and approval; submit a pull request modifying your app's existing JSON file with the new commit and version tag.
