Help in creating a 'managed' package for a developer edition

I have developer edition org, I have developed an application and now I want to move the code(components) through the managed package to different org and test in their sandbox. The developer org only has an ability to create unlimited number of unmanaged packages. How can I create a managed package as I have a developer org and no sandbox? what could be a best approach?

Hi sruthi26,

You shouldn't need a sandbox to achieve this. A developer edition is capable of creating one managed package. You will need certain permissions enabled in your profile, and then you will need to go to Setup-> Create-> Packages and edit your Developer Settings.

Here's some documentation that shows you which permissions are required to achieve this:

Hope this helps!

Hi Ken, 
I read the document. Its says that I am allowed to create only one managed package. I have a question, what if after I create it and send it to testing, and later if I found something wrong with any component/code, can I modify it?

Hi sruthi26,

Yes, you will be able to modify it. You can create new versions of the managed package. For example you would start from 1.0, then 1.1, 1.2... etc. Here's some more documentation about managed packages, and what you can change in a managed package.
