I have some remedial questions about this process.
I used NAPA to create my first Office365 mail app.
I downloaded that app to my Visual Studio 2013 environment.
I want to publish this to the Microsoft app store so that I can test it.
So, here are my remedial questions.
1. While in Napa, is my code actually stored in Sharepoint? Is that why I have to log into sharepoint first in order to use Napa?
2. When I work from my PC, I am not using sharepoint, but, when I press the start run debug button does it copy mode code up somewhere so that I can then run it? Is there a microsoft deployment server that my code gets deployed to or is it really be served up from my localhost PC running Visual Studio 2013?
3. The purpose for deploying the application is so that I can test it when it is running from the official location. But, I am confused about what that means. Do I have to establish a server someplace where I place the code? Do you, Microsoft, have a server where my code will be hosted and thereby freeing me from having to set up another server that hosts my code?
4. relative to a hosting site, if I have the code in a folder on my sharepoint, do I tell the deployment process somehow that my code is there? And, I am not at all sure what sharepoint URL I am supposed to give it.
Can you help me out on this simple questions to help me understand what I am up against while I start down this deployment path.
On final question, number 5, do I have to deploy code in order for someone else to have access to it for running in their own Office365 mail app?
Thanks,
John
