UCC Framework

Add-on Builder has been around for quite some time. It helps build Splunk apps faster, but it also has its limitations. Good example is cron scheduling. AOB requires an integer value (in seconds) for the Interval field and does not natively support Cron schedules. Developers attempting to use Cron expressions in inputs.conf may encounter errors. There are workarounds for this, but you can consider moving to Unified Configurable Components (UCC) Framework, which offers more robust support for scheduling and configuration customization. UCC is actively developer by Splunk and to get the latest version please visit  Universal Configuration Console (UCC) framework v5.66.0

AppInspect Major Release: April 29, 2025

As we prepare to Splunk 10 release this is important to use the latest AppInspect version. Moreover, with updated checks it reduces the time it takes for the App Vetting team to review an app and approve it for Splunkbase. If you want to confidently assess your applications against latest Splunk's rigorous standards before deployment please download it from here - Splunk AppInspect
