Phases in the Upload Sequence
When you upload an app it undergoes 6 phases in the upload sequence to finally get uploaded, installed and ready to Launch from the new Control Panel. In this section we will discuss what happen when you upload an app.
Color code for the upload sequence:
Green : Passed
Red : Error
Yellow : Warning
Phase 1. Application Review
In this phase application is reviewed by the system. The system checks:
(i) Whether pixel streaming is enabled or not
(ii) Whether the uploaded ZIP file contains a packaged UE app or not
(iii) Whether there exist an exe file or not
If the app app passed this system check then you will see the success signal (Green Color)
Figure 1. Application Reviewed Successfully
If pixel plugin is not enabled then you will get an warning (Yellow Color) about it. But you can proceed to application upload phase in this case.
Figure 2. Warning as Pixel Plugin Not Detected
App name (Figure 3) and .exe file (Figure 4) name in the root of ZIP must be same. You have two options to ensure this:
Set the app name in the Control Panel to match the
.exefile orRename the
.exefile to match the app name.

If the uploaded ZIP file doesn’t contains UE app then you will get an warning (Yellow Color). This time you will not be able to proceed to the next stage. When you will click on “UPLOAD” button you will get an error message (Figure 4)

Phase 5. Application in Queue
If multiple apps are uploaded simultaneously, they will be in a queue,. This test may take longer to complete if the queue size is large, otherwise it will go to the next stage in a short period of time.
Figure 16. App is in Queue
This test may take long period of time if the queue size is large.
Phase 6. Testing Application
The purpose of this phase is to make sure the App is ready to stream. The app is played in the remote machine or device to check whether it is steaming perfectly or not.
Figure 17. Testing the App
After all the phase of the testing your app will be either ready to stream (Figure 16) or will give Error Testing (Figure 17).
