Got the answer:

For Windows Servers:

Goto-> Command prompt

cd %SPLUNK_HOME%\bin
splunk package app MyAppName
Splunk username:
Password :

Application is packaged and stored in location:

%SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\system\static\app-packages\MyAppName.spl

FYI:
When you use the package command and do revisions, the app will be archived in a new folder:

%SPLUNK_HOME%\etc\system\static\app-packages\DELETEME_..\

This folder needs to periodically and regularly deleted manually.

There's an app for that, too!

For me I had to use the command on the second point like this: ./splunk package app MyAppName
