What is an App Descriptor for Confluence Connect Apps?
The app descriptor is a JSON file (atlassian-connect.json) that describes the app to the Atlassian application. The descriptor includes general information for the app, as well as the modules that the app wants to use or extend.
The atlassian-connect.json serves the same function. The descriptor serves as the glue between the remote app and the Atlassian application. When an administrator for a cloud instance installs an app, what they are really doing is installing this descriptor file, which contains pointers to your service.
What is the purpose of this issue?
Create the App Descriptor for the Confluence Connect app.
What is the format for the Descriptor?
The descriptor format for apps to each product is defined by a JSON schema.
What is the the purpose of the Validator?
Atlassian Connect provides a stand-alone validation service for app descriptors. The validator will check that your descriptor is syntactically correct. Just paste the JSON content of your descriptor in the descriptor field, and select the Atlassian product you want to validate against.
