Package Apps in App Designer
After creating an app in App Designer, you can package it into a single installer file that
you can easily share with others. The underlying functionality for packaging apps in App
Designer is the same as the functionality that underlies the Add-Ons > Package App
option in the MATLAB Toolstrip.1 In App Designer, select the Designer tab. Then select Share > MATLAB App.MATLAB opens the Package App dialog box.(^2) The Package App dialog box has the following items pre-populated:
- The application name matches the title assigned to the figure in App Designer.
- The Main file is the MLAPP file you currently have selected for editing.
- The Output folder is the folder that contains the MLAPP file.
- The files listed under Files included through analysis include any files MATLAB
detected as dependent files. You can add additional files by clicking Add files/
folders under Shared resources and helper files.
