Note

  • Developer Portal for Government Community Cloud (GCC) is supported only as an app in Teams and not as a standalone website.
  • Developer Portal isn't available for GCC-High and Department of Defense (DOD) tenants. However, you can use a regular tenant to build an app in Developer Portal, download the app, and upload the app using Microsoft Graph to a national cloud. For more information, see national cloud deployments.

  4. Select Import.

    • Developer Portal creates a unique app ID and locks the ID for your registered Teams app. You can’t edit or provide an ID of your choice, which prevents to have duplicate app IDs for multiple apps.

    • If you create an app using the Microsoft Teams Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, you can manage your app in Developer Portal.

    • You can import an existing app to Developer Portal that was created in App Studio. If an app in your tenant doesn't have an owner, the Teams Tenant admin or Global admin can take ownership of the app from Teams Developer Portal.
