# wix app create-version

<blockquote class="warning">

**Deprecated**

The Legacy Wix CLI for Apps is deprecated and no longer receives updates or new features. New projects should use the [Wix CLI for Apps](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/cli-for-apps/about-the-wix-cli-for-apps).

- To find out which structure a project uses, see [Determine Which CLI Your Project Uses](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/project-development/determine-which-cli-your-project-uses).
- To migrate an existing app to the new Wix CLI, see [Migrate a Legacy CLI App to the New Wix CLI](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/develop-your-app/develop-an-app-with-the-cli/migrate-an-app-to-the-new-cli/migrate-an-app-from-the-legacy-cli/migrate-a-legacy-cli-app-to-the-new-wix-cli).

</blockquote>

> **Note**: The `create-version` command is replaced by the [`release`](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/command-reference/project-commands/release) command. `create-version` is supported for a limited time to allow you to switch to the new command.

Starts a process that guides you through creating a new app version. You can view your [app versions](fallback::https://manage.wix.com/app-selector?title=Select+an+App&primaryButtonText=Select+Site&actionUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.wix.com%2Fapps%2F%7BappId%7D%2Fversions-app) in the app dashboard.

Once the app version is created, you can [submit it for review](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/submit-your-first-app-version) to publish it to the [Wix App Market](fallback::https://www.wix.com/app-market). If you choose not to list your app in the Wix App Market, you can distribute your app by [sharing an install link](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/install-your-app/share-an-app-install-link) or [install it directly](fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/build-apps/launch-your-app/app-distribution/install-your-app/install-your-app-directly-on-sites) on a site in your account.

To learn more about app versions, see [App Versions and Deployment](portalId::63e3acd8-2a9c-421d-8f92-d02930eeb59eresourceId::85615134-6453-4c0b-95c9-7222cf34c2d1#app-versions-and-deployment*fallback::https://dev.wix.com/docs/wix-cli/legacy-clis/legacy-wix-cli-for-apps/app-development/development-overview#app-versions-and-deployment).
