When you open the App Market from a Harmony site, only compatible apps are shown. > - To test your app on a Wix Harmony site, see [test your app on a Wix Harmony site](#test-your-app-on-a-wix-harmony-site). ## Test your app on a free development site A development site is a Wix site created specifically for testing your app before you distribute it. It includes: - Full access to an editor (Wix Harmony, Wix Studio, or Wix Editor). - Premium & Wix Payments capabilities. - Support for Wix business solutions such as Wix Stores, Events, and Services. Use a development site to simulate real user behavior and ensure your app works as expected before going live. To test your app on a free development site: 1. In the top right corner of your [app's dashboard](https://manage.wix.com/account/custom-apps), click **Test App** and select **Test on dev site**. 1. Select an existing development site or click **+ Create Dev Site** to create a new site. Select the editor and the Wix Business Solution you want to use and click **Create Dev Site**. 1. Click **Test App**. Wix installs your app and opens the site in a new tab. You can set which site page opens in your [app settings](https://dev.wix.com/app-selector?title=Select+an+App&primaryButtonText=Select+Site&actionUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.wix.com%2Fapps%2F%7BappId%7D%2Fapp-settings). If you don't set a page, the site editor opens by default. Wix offers the following templates for development sites: | | | | | -------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Platform** | **Dev site** | **Included Apps** | | Classic Editor | Stores (V3) | Wix Members Area | | | Stores (V1) | Instagram Feed, Wix Members Area, Wix FAQ, Wix Site Search, Wix Forms, Wix Pro Gallery, Wix Chat | | | Restaurants | Wix Members Area, Wix Forms, Wix Pro Gallery | | | Events | Instagram Feed, Wix Members Area, Wix Forms, Wix Pro Gallery, Wix Pricing Plans, Wix Chat | | | Services | Instagram Feed, Wix Members Area, Wix Forms, Wix Pro Gallery, Wix Pricing Plans, Wix Chat | | | Blank | Only Wix Payments | | Studio | Stores (V3) | Wix Members Area | | | Stores (V1) | Wix Gift Cards, Wix Members Area, Wix Forms, Wix Blog | | | Restaurants | Wix Members Area, Wix Pro Gallery | | | Events | Wix Members Area, Wix Forms, Wix Pro Gallery, Wix Blog | | | Services | Wix Members Area, Wix Forms, Wix Pricing Plans | | | Blank | Only Wix Payments | | Harmony | Stores (V3) | Wix Members Area | | | Restaurants | Wix Members Area | | | Events | Wix Members Area | | | Bookings | Wix Members Area | ## Preview your app's market listing See a preview of your app's live market listing. This allows you to check for any issues in the listing's appearance before you [submit your app for review](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/submit-your-first-app-version.md). 1. Click **Test App** and select **Preview listing**. Wix opens your app's listing in the App market in a new tab. 1. You can also test your app from the listing preview by clicking **Test on Dev Site**. This takes you through the same flow as above. ## Share a test version of your app A test link gives you a secure way to send a test version of your app to collaborators. To create and share a test link: 1. Click **Test App** and select **Share test link**. 1. Copy the generated link and send to others who want to test your app. 1. The link sends collaborators to a preview of the app market listing. From there, they can click **Test on Dev Site** and install the app on their own development site. > **Notes:** > > - The link sends collaborators to a test version of your app. To share an official version, [share an install link](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/install-your-app/share-an-app-install-link.md). > - Generating a new test link deactivates the old one. > - Currently you can't share test links for Blocks Apps. ## Test your app on a Wix Harmony site Wix Harmony is Wix's new AI-powered site editor. Not all app extensions work in Harmony due to its different architecture. To test your app on a Wix Harmony site, follow the steps in [test your app on a free development site](#test-your-app-on-a-free-development-site) and select one of the available Harmony templates. [Contact us](https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/manage-your-app/contact-us/contact-us.md) if you have questions on testing with Wix Harmony.
