Getting a launcher app on the marketplace require following through the following steps.

Technical steps

2. Create two projects:

      1. Create VM
      2. Install GitLab on VM and configure it as needed
      3. Fill open source compliance doc
      4. Send open source compliance doc to Google
      5. Receive license keys and script to execute them on images (how to execute the license keys and transfer the image to the public project)
      6. Reach out to Emily from the Google team to create the final image, will then do the testing from Google side
      7. Receive and execute commands to execute image on public project
   2. Gitlab-public - will host final image
      1. Once those are done, send over project details to Ravi to enable it as public project (takes 1-2 weeks)
