Deploy a Local External Client App

All external client apps are created using deploy and retrieve operations in the Metadata API. After configuring the package.xml file, deploy the external client app.

  1. Deploy the external client app package.xml file using this command.

    sf project deploy start --manifest package.xml --target-org johndoe@example.com

  2. Use this command to retrieve the updated external client app information.

    sf project retrieve start --manifest package.xml --target-org johndoe@example.com

  3. Verify that the auto-generated directories, files, and fields are created. For example, make sure that the orgScopedExternalApp field in the [ECAPP_NAME].eca-meta.xml file has a value structured like [Organization_ID]:[External Client App Name]
