Log in to the Edge Signal platform
Navigate to the Applications section of the sidebar
Click on the New Application button (top right-hand corner of the page)
Enter the Application Name
Enter a meaningful Application Description (optional)
Select Application Type; in this case, Native
Click the Create button
Once you have created your application, you will be taken automatically to the application details page
Here you can update the application description in the basic details section
To create a release for your application, click on the Releases menu to be brought to the Releases section
Click the Create Release button to create a release for your new application
Here you will input the release version, and in the case of a native application release, you will enter a runtime type needed to execute the application; for example, python3
The runtime type corresponds to your native application runtime environment
You can also enter optional Runtime arguments to configure and customize the behavior of your application at runtime
Enter the Main file, which is a file that contains the entrance function of your application
Note: You are required to first input an application name prefix to the main file
If you haven’t already compressed your application in zip format, do this now
Next, use the file selector to choose your zipped application file
Click the Create button
The release has now been added to your application
To see the release details, click the info icon under the Actions heading
If you wish to configure your application remotely without redeploying, you can create application settings here in the Settings section of the details page
Note: To use this Application Settings feature, you need to integrate the Edge Signal SDK into your application. For more details, please refer to the Edge Signal SDK documentation found here: https://docs.edgesignal.io/product-docs/sdk/overview
To reconfigure the Application Settings, click on the pencil icon under the Actions heading to open the dialogue
To delete your application settings, click the delete icon under the Actions heading
If you wish to delete this application, you must first remove all the corresponding releases. The Delete Application button under the application management section will then become active and ready for you to use
Note: Both dockerized and native applications are deployed in the same way, as shown in the Create Deployment quick start video and step-by-step guide
