DESCRIPTION
This webinar gives a first-hand look into AvePoint’s journey to build an app for the SharePoint 2013 Marketplace. It discusses the details of the technical decisions made throughout the entire process – from idea inception to delivery into the Microsoft Office store. The webinar also gives demonstrations on how to get started, and tells what resources you’ll need to use on your journey to build your own app.

Agenda
• The marketplace• The new app model• Submission process• AvePoint Task & Calendar Sync• AvePoint Meetings
The marketplace
Concerns
• Submission process approves SharePoint manifest– No control over external changes– Once App granted permissions
• App can do what it likes in that scope
• Trust element of vendor– Will hurt small unknown companies– Different to phone market – corporate data
The app model
SP App Design - A Choice of Three Approaches
App Web (from .ap
p)
Parent Web
SharePoint-hosted AppProvision an isolated sub web on a parent web• Reuse web elements
(lists, files, out-of-box web parts)
• No server code allowed; use client JavaScript for logic, UX
Azure Auto-Provisioned AppWindows Azure + SQL Azure provisioned invisibly as apps are installed
Azure (from
WebDeploy,
DacPac)
SharePoint Web
Get remote events from SharePoint Use CSOM/REST + OAuth to work with SP
Cloud-based Apps
Provider-Hosted App“Bring your own server hosting infrastructure”Developers will need to isolate tenants

App Scopes
• SPSite—site collection• SPWeb—website• SPList—list• Tenancy—the tenancy scope is at
http://<sharepointserver>/<content>/<tenant>/• performing search queries, accessing taxonomy
data, user profiles, etc.
App Rights
• Rights:– Read-Only– Write– Manage– Full Control (not supported in Store!)
• Not customizable!• If an app is granted permission to a scope– the permission applies to all children of the
scope
Setting App Rights
• App rights are set when:– An app is installed by an SPWeb administrator– An app is explicitly granted permission by a tenant administrator or
SPWeb administrator– An end user gives consent– An app is removed
• Once provisioned, the rights for an app cannot change – they can only be revoked in whole– This ensures the app will not have to account for missing rights, i.e.
become broken after installation
