I think you need to upload the app file that contains all folders and .conf files and Splunk supports vets it and installs it then.

Do you happen to know what the minimum required file set is for a custom app? Location of app files? limits?

You should be able to upload your app through the GUI, I believe under Manage Apps. It will automatically try to vet the app for you and indicate anything that needs to be fixed. Depending on the app, it may still require you to have Splunk Cloud Ops do some vetting, which you can do via opening a ticket.

I think you would have to chat with your Splunk contact and share the app with them since only Splunk has access to the SplunkCloud to deploy a custom app.
