Use cases make building an app quicker and easier. Rather than selecting permissions and features one-by-one, you will select the use case that most closely aligns with the functionality you need. Each use case comes with a package of the preselected settings, permissions, and features required for that use case, with flexible options for customization based on your specific needs.
Create
From the App Dashboard, select “Create App”
Select
Select a use case that most closely aligns with the functionality you need
Review the associated compliance requirements so you know what to expect.
Note: The use case library will expand to include more use cases over time. If the available options don't suit your needs, select "Other" to be redirected to an app creation flow where you will be prompted to select an app type. Then, choose individual permissions, features, and products related to the app type you selected. Please note that if you create an app by selecting an app type instead of selecting a use case, the submission process and Dashboard view will differ with this flow.
Customize
Add a sub-use case, which captures the most common customizations developers make
Finish customizing the app by adding the permissions and completing use case customizations one at a time
Review the requirements for each use case so you know what to expect before submitting for App Review
