    Hi SA,

     

    Maybe the following picture would help you to decide how to build new app:

    PowerApps is something like a custom tool, to help generate an app which would work with the team. No need to register the Custom App, and the created app (phone or tablet style) could be only managed under PowerApp studio. You may take a look at the article below for more information regarding PowerApps:

    Introducting Microsoft PowerApps

     

    While Appsource is used for business users to find and try out line-of-business SaaS apps from Microsoft and Microsoft partners, Apps under Appsource would be built by ISV partners on top of Dynamics, Office, and the Azure platform. Users can also discover content packs and add-ins for Microsoft business app. More information, please see:

    Turning business proces into business advantage for organizations everywhere

     

    Also:

    Register your app with AppSource

    Thanks for the detail response. I want to build on AppSource. How can i start development?

     

    What I am understanding is that, first i have created a PowerApp and then register this App in AppSource? Is my understanding right?

     

    Thanks

    Is it possible to submit an App developed on PowerApp into AppSource?

    No.

     

     

    Well, I don't think it would be possible.

    Please check the article below regarding Dynamics 365 developing:
