M365 Changelog: Admin notifications for Custom app submissions

MC324204 – Microsoft asks that you pardon their delay of this earlier planned feature release.  As previously messaged (MC260561 – June 2021), this feature update makes it so that when a developer submits a custom app through the Teams App Submission API for IT admin approval, you will receive a notification in a dedicated Teams channel. You’ll then be able to review and take the necessary steps to publish the app.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID: 82512.

When this will happen:

This feature is now available.

How this will affect your organization:

This notification allows admins to review it in the Microsoft Teams admin center and approve it for publishing to your organization’s app store.

What you need to do to prepare:

You should review, assess and opt-in to receive the new feature.  Additionally, you might want to update your documentation as appropriate.
