Splunk Developer's Guide - Second Edition

The App packaging checklist

The App packing checklist table is a non-all-inclusive checklist for App packaging requirements. Not every item on this list needs to be in every App, but it should provide a basic reminder of what is required:

Basic checklist
Basic README file	XML is well formed	Empty local directory
Contact information	App description	Delete metadata/local.meta
Clean of viruses/malware	App ID	Verify default permissions
No malicious commands	App version	Remove dynamic lookups
Executables located in bin	App icon	No hardcoded paths
SPL file format	Common Information Model compliance	Setup screen
App name complies with guidelines	Valid EULA	No hardcoded index paths
