Adding a new application

To add an application to Kaspersky Appicenter for Developers, you need to fill out a form and submit the application for review. After the application has successfully passed review, you can manually publish it in the Kaspersky Appicenter application showcase, Kaspersky Security Center, and devices running KasperskyOS.

Before filling out the form, do the following:

Prepare the application file in KPA format, which must be signed with a private key.
Add the corresponding public key to Kaspersky Appicenter for Developers.
You can add an application without first adding a public key, but the application will not pass the publication verification.
Prepare related files for the application such as the digital signature file, icon and screenshots, as well as files with the Privacy Policy and End User License Agreement.
For a complete list of the files that you have to upload to the Kaspersky Appicenter for Developers portal when adding an application, and for a detailed description of the requirements for these files, please refer to the Kaspersky Appicenter Rules document. You can view the Kaspersky Appicenter Rules by clicking the link in the main menu of the portal.
