Platform Extension Dependencies

[dbaerg]

In developing an extension for the marketplace, it is acceptable for an extension to have a dependency on another extension? Additionally, is there a particular way this should be done? I presume distributing the existing extension along with our extension would not be allowed. The specific case I'm considering is the free MQTT extension.

You may use the existing extension (in this case, MQTT) as a dependency. One will simply install the MQTT extension first, then the one you develop (ensure to assemble the metadata file correctly). I'm attachign some documentation on custom extensibility.
