Type webAppCompiler at the MATLAB command line to open the Web App Compiler app.

In the MAIN FILE section of the toolstrip, click the button to add your App Designer .mlapp file to the project. The Web App Compiler automatically resizes to include an App details section that contains information about the app such as app name, author, summary, description, and version. You can edit information about the app in App Designer by clicking Edit App Details. Click Refresh to update Web App Compiler with any changes you have made.

(Optional) Select Copy web app to server app folder check box and specify the path to the app folder on the server where you want the web app archive (.ctf file) to be automatically copied. If you leave this check box cleared, the Web App Compiler will create the web app archive (.ctf file) in the project folder. You must manually copy or upload the web app archive (.ctf file) to the app folder on the server. For more information, see Configure the Development Version of MATLAB Web App Server in MATLAB Compiler.

Add supporting files, if any, in the Files required for your app to run section. Supporting files include any MAT-files, images used by your web app, or user-written MATLAB functions not found by MATLAB Compiler™.

Click Package to package the app, and create a web app archive (.ctf file).

In the Save Project dialog box that opens, specify a project name and a location where you want to save the web app project. Web App Compiler saves your project and opens a Package dialog box.

Once packaging is complete, in the Package dialog box, click Open output folder. This step opens the project folder which contains the following files:

You can view the log file, PackagingLog.html, to see the exact mcc syntax used to package and create the web app archive.

To use the web app, deploy the web app archive file, webAppArchiveName.ctf. For more information, see Deploy Web App.
