All apps that should be installed on customers' sites go through one of Wix's distribution flows:
Important: Before you can distribute your app, make sure to release a version.
Apps that are (or are going to be) listed in the App Market need to be submitted for review when:
Other changes to your app require that you release a new version, and don't require review or approval.
It's important that your app is production-ready before you submit it for review and approval. This means checking and testing the app thoroughly. One way to test that the app is working as it should is to use a free Premium development site.
A member of the Wix team will carefully review your app. They will communicate with you via the email address you provide in the Contact info tab. This process can take up to 15 business days for first app submission and 7 days for updates to live apps. You can help speed up the process by making sure you've tested thoroughly prior to submission and being responsive to any feedback the team sends.
You can view your app’s submission status in the Versions tab of your app's dashboard.
