Google Workspace Updates: Marketplace

Alternate runtimes makes it easier to build Google Workspace Add-ons, now generally available

Monday, March 22, 2021

What’s changing We’re launching a new way to create Google Workspace Add-ons. With alternative runtimes, developers can write Add-ons in any language and on any infrastructure, and then publish them to the Google Workspace Marketplace. Alternate runtimes was previously available in beta.
See our developer blog post to learn more about the new feature.
Who’s impacted Admins and developers
Why it’s important Google Workspace Add-ons allow you to use third-party applications within Google Workspace. These integrations between Google Workspace and other productivity applications allow work to happen more seamlessly across platforms, helping you get work done faster without switching from one app to another.
Previously, developers had to write Add-ons in Apps Script. With this launch, developers can write them in whatever language, and on whatever infrastructure, they want. This change enables developers to use the tools and systems they’re used to, making it quicker and easier to create and publish high-quality Add-ons.
Getting started

Developers: See our developer blog post to learn more about the new feature. Use our developer documentation to learn more about Alternate Runtimes for Google Workspace Add-ons.
Admins: This launch represents a new way for developers to build and publish Add-ons through the Google Workspace Marketplace. There’s no difference to previous add-ons from a domain or user perspective. Visit the Help Center to learn more about managing Google Workspace Marketplace Apps for your organization.
End users: If allowed by your admin, you’ll be able to install Google Workspace Add-ons using the “+” button in the Google Workspace quick access side panel or via the Google Workspace Marketplace. The add-ons you install will appear in the side panel across Google Workplace apps.

Rollout pace

This feature is available now for all users.

Availability

Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers

Reminder: Making Google Apps Marketplace available to non-admins

Tuesday, September 30, 2014

As announced on Sept 17, the Google Apps Marketplace (GAM) will open to non-admins in Scheduled release domains by default early next week.

Admins can now choose to allow people from their organization to install any GAM apps via the GAM interface (vs having to visit a GAM app vendor website directly), or they can choose to customize which apps are made available to them in GAM for installation. They can also turn the feature off altogether if they so choose.

Please take the appropriate action for your organization in advance of this launch (see Help Center instructions linked below), planned for Tues, Oct 7th.

Note: This feature is automatically defaulted off for K-12 EDU domains.

Release track:

Scheduled release coming on Oct 7, 2104

Google Apps Marketplace apps migration to OAuth2

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

By: Chris Han, Google Apps Marketplace Product Manager

We've been working with developers to migrate their Google Apps Marketplace apps from OAuth1.0 to OAuth2.0. This change improves integration, discovery, distribution, security, and management of third-party apps. Google officially deprecated OAuth1.0 in April 2012 (see here), and we’re moving toward the end of this deprecation timeline for the Google Apps Marketplace.

In most cases, app developers have already worked with their customers to migrate to OAuth2.0. However, for those apps that have not been migrated the following announcements apply:

On September 30, 2014, Google will no longer enable any new installs of OAuth1.0 apps and these apps will be removed from the Google Apps Marketplace. However, previously installed OAuth1.0 apps will continue to work.
On April 20, 2015, if your application provider has not completed your migration to their OAuth 2.0 app then the single single-on functionality will stop working and the app icon will no longer appear in the app launcher.

To check whether the apps you use from Google Apps Marketplace have migrated to OAuth2.0, go to admin.google.com and click on "Google Apps Marketplace". Apps that are listed here are using OAuth2.0 and are either fully migrated or in the process of migrating.

If you have any questions about your application provider's plans for migration prior to April 20, 2015, we encourage you to reach out to them directly.

Opening up Google Apps Marketplace beyond Apps administrators

Wednesday, September 17, 2014

This launch gives the ability for Google Apps admins to open up the Google Apps Marketplace (GAM) to people from their organization to directly find and use 3rd party applications that integrate with Google Apps.

Admins will be able to allow the installation of any GAM apps, or they can choose to customize which apps are made available to their domains. Admins can also turn the feature off altogether if they so choose.

Note: This feature will be defaulted to allow users to install any GAM apps at launch to Rapid release domains (excluding K-12 EDU domains, where it will be defaulted off). Admins from Scheduled release domains will see the Admin console controls for this feature with Rapid rollout, and can disable it if so desired prior to Scheduled launch. Users from Scheduled release domains who try to install an app from GAM prior to the Scheduled rollout will be prevented from doing so and will receive the following error message: You do not have privileges to install this application. Please contact your domain admin.

Release track:

Rapid release, with Scheduled release coming in two weeks

Domain management of Google Drive Apps

Thursday, May 22, 2014

Last year, we launched a new and improved Google Apps Marketplace experience, allowing admins to be able to find, manage and deploy third-party applications directly from the Google Apps Admin Console.

Earlier this year, we launched the ability for admins to allow their users to install applications that integrate with Google Drive. If this setting was disabled, however, admins were not able to install Marketplace apps that integrate with Drive.

With today’s launch, Marketplace applications deployed by admins will be able to integrate with Google Drive for users who are provided with the app, even if this Admin Console setting is disabled. In essence, admins can now whitelist the Drive applications that their users can install.

Release Track:

Rapid release and Scheduled release
