Hi again @mukeshgmon !

As per the documents linked above, only approved Partners would be able to build this kind of app.

All the relevant info will be available via those documents, so please do spend some time going through them.

If you have further Partner-specific queries I’d recommend reaching out to the Partner team via your dash, as they will be better equipped to answer them.

All the best!
