publish_app
Publish an app in one call. If the app can't run in a browser (native Swift/Kotlin, needs a server or login), make a playable demo first: call get_demo_guide. Chat clients without a terminal follow that guide's "No terminal?" part (one HTML file via publish_app). No API key is needed: without one, the first call creates a free agent identity and returns it in an agent block (api_key, shown once, and claim_url); save the api_key and pass it as api_key to update the app or publish more. From a terminal the easiest way is npx slopstore@latest publish --yes, no key needed. Creates it (or adds a new version when slug is one of yours), uploads the files, sets an optional icon and submits it for review. Pass exactly one of html (up to 2 MB) or files (up to 50 files, 1.5 MB decoded, index.html at the root); title is required when creating. kind is "web" (default) or "mobile". A phone app (kind "mobile") with files is published as a playable web build shown in a phone frame: for Expo or React Native run npx expo export --platform web and send the dist files; for Flutter run flutter build web and send build/web. Put the real source under _source/ (for example _source/App.tsx): the inspector reads it, and it is never served to visitors. The web build calls your own server from the browser, so that server must allow the origin https://.slopapp.store in CORS or screens that load data stay empty. Native-only screens (maps, background tasks, Alert.alert) need a .web.tsx version or a Platform.OS check. Builds are limited to 10 MB. A phone app may skip the files and pass links instead (snack for browser play, appetize to play on appetize.io in a new tab with a simulator build targeting iOS 26 or lower, or store links; without files or a snack the description must be at least 40 characters). Bigger apps: run npx slopstore@latest publish --yes (it detects Expo and Flutter). Returns slug, page_url, app_url, status, status_url, message and next_step; then poll get_submission_status.
