Create Update Package

If parts of an app are faulty you can create an update package. An update package can be built from different sources. Using this function all opened content items and app definitions are combined to an update package.

A user can download an update package if he has a valid license.

Step-by-Step

1. On the Home tab, in the Build group, select Create Update Package.
2. If more than one project (including at least one app definition) is open you can choose the source the update package should based on.
3. A dialog box will be shown in which you can select the language for the update package.

4. New for IDEA version 10.3 Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) is the name of standards commonly used in the USA. These standards are used by all government agencies and government contractors in the USA and therefore serve as a basis for tenders. Compliance with this standard is a prerequisite to be awarded public contracts in the USA.
   The FIPS controls the hash function and the encryption algorithms. For IDEA 10.3 and higher FIPS compliant apps can be created. This functionality will not impair the performance of the apps.

   Please note:

   The FIPS can only be used in IDEA 10.3 or higher.

   Apps created with IDEA 10.2 or a previous version and apps where this option is not enabled cannot be used on a computer on which the FIPS was activated.

5. Click OK to create the update package.
