What is a Microsoft teams app? here have the full explanation and how to create teams app and test it out.

Once you have the app ready. Then we have to publish it. Do do so you will need a Microsoft Partner Center account the you can create using the above link.

After this a ton of information and verification process will follow. Which i am sure you will have no problem filling out. Beware, if you add wrong details there is no way edit it. I tried searching for it in docs for 2hrs and gave up. If anyone know how. do let me know in comments.
Finally after all that you come back to partner dashboard.
