Session Summary by Einstein: The session at Dreamforce focused on the future of connected apps, specifically the launch of External Client Apps (ECAs), which are poised to be the next-generation framework offering significant improvements over the existing connected apps. ECAs promise a 99% faster packaging process, native support for 2GB packaging, and a streamlined developer experience due to full metadata compliance, distinguishing themselves with a closed security posture that necessitates installation in the subscriber org for use. The session demonstrated the creation, packaging, and installation of an ECA, illustrating the ease of the process and the robust security features.
Key Takeaways by Einstein:

• External Client Apps are designed to address complexities and challenges of connected apps, offering improved packaging speed, security, and developer control.

• ECAs are fully metadata compliant, allowing developers to manage them like other metadata components, which facilitates better control, customization, and integration into modern development workflows.
