Metadata API Developer Guide
jNote: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.
AppExperienceSettings
In the package manifest, all organization settings metadata types are accessed using the Settings name. See Settings for details.
File Suffix and Directory Location
AppExperienceSettings values are stored in the .settings file in the settings directory. The .settings files are different from other named components because there is only one settings file for each settings component.
Version
AppExperienceSettings components are available in API version 47.0 and later.
Fields
| Field Name | Field Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| doesHideAllAppsInAppLauncher | boolean | If set to false (default), all standard and custom apps show up on the App Launcher. If set to true, the admin must select which standard and custom apps to display on the App Launcher. |

For information about using the manifest file, see Deploying and Retrieving Metadata with the Zip File.
