3. Click on the "Add a new App" button at the top right corner
4. The list of API products that you have permissions to access will be listed down with a check box against each one
5. Enter a valid app name for the bundle/app that you are going to create in the text box under the "App name" label [Eg: app1_centurylink]
6. Check all those products that you need to bundle into the app that you are going to create and click on the "Create App" button at the bottom right corner.
7. This will create the app and display that in the MY Apps page.
