Recently we launched add-ons for Google Docs and Sheets. Now developers can easily package Apps Script applications as add-ons and distribute these scripts via the add-on store. The add-on store gives developers wider distribution, automatic updates, versioning and is vastly superior to the restrictive script gallery that it was designed to replace.

Starting today, we are deprecating the option for developers to publish to the script gallery. No new gallery submissions will be accepted or approved, but scripts already present in the gallery will remain accessible (via the old version of Sheets).

If you rely on distributing or consuming your script from the script gallery, then please convert your script into an add-on and follow the add-on publication instructions.
