Experience Ui Bundle Custom App Generate

Generates the CustomApplication metadata XML you need to surface a React UI bundle in the Lightning App Launcher without spinning up a full Experience Site. The workflow resolves your bundle name and namespace, queries the Salesforce API to detect which fields your org version supports (uiBundle vs webApplication), then creates the app-meta.xml file with the correct schema. It also handles the target field in your uibundle-meta.xml when the API version supports it. This is the internal user path, not the Digital Experience path, so you won't see any Network or CustomSite metadata. The version detection is smart because the field names changed across API releases and getting that wrong means blank pages in production.

Custom Application for React UI Bundles

Create and configure a Salesforce Custom Application that hosts a React UI bundle in Lightning Experience. This skill generates the CustomApplication metadata so the app appears in the Lightning App Launcher and can be accessed by internal users.

Custom Applications differ from Experience Sites: they don't need Networks, CustomSite, DigitalExperienceConfig, or DigitalExperienceBundle metadata. The Custom Application acts as a thin launcher entry that delegates rendering to the React UI bundle referenced by uiBundle.
