Salesforce Certified Platform App Builder — Question 237

What are two reasons to create unmanaged packages? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Deploying from a Developer Edition environment.
• B. Publishing an application for sale on the AppExchange.
• C. Distributing upgradeable components to other Salesforce orgs
• D. Distributing open-source projects on the AppExchange.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

Unmanaged packages are ideal for distributing open-source projects because they allow users to modify the components freely, which aligns with the open-source philosophy. Additionally, they can be deployed from a Developer Edition environment, making it easier to share development work. Options B and C are incorrect because unmanaged packages are not typically used for selling applications or for distributing upgradeable components.
