**End of support notice:** On October 30, 2026, AWS will end support for Amazon Pinpoint. After October 30, 2026, you will no longer be able to access the Amazon Pinpoint console or Amazon Pinpoint resources (endpoints, segments, campaigns, journeys, and analytics). For more information, see [Amazon Pinpoint end of support](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/console/pinpoint/migration-guide). **Note:** APIs related to SMS, voice, mobile push, OTP, and phone number validate are not impacted by this change and are supported by AWS End User Messaging.

# Use `CreateApp` with an AWS SDK or CLI
<a name="pinpoint_example_pinpoint_CreateApp_section"></a>

The following code examples show how to use `CreateApp`.

Action examples are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. You can see this action in context in the following code example:

#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**Example 1: To create an application**  
The following `create-app` example creates a new application (project).  

```
aws pinpoint create-app \
    --create-application-request Name=ExampleCorp
```
Output:  

```
{
    "ApplicationResponse": {
        "Arn": "arn:aws:mobiletargeting:us-west-2:AIDACKCEVSQ6C2EXAMPLE:apps/810c7aab86d42fb2b56c8c966example",
        "Id": "810c7aab86d42fb2b56c8c966example",
        "Name": "ExampleCorp",
        "tags": {}
    }
}
```
**Example 2: To create an application that is tagged**  
The following `create-app` example creates a new application (project) and associates a tag (key and value) with the application.  

```
aws pinpoint create-app \
    --create-application-request Name=ExampleCorp,tags={"Stack"="Test"}
```
Output:  

```
{
    "ApplicationResponse": {
        "Arn": "arn:aws:mobiletargeting:us-west-2:AIDACKCEVSQ6C2EXAMPLE:apps/810c7aab86d42fb2b56c8c966example",
        "Id": "810c7aab86d42fb2b56c8c966example",
        "Name": "ExampleCorp",
        "tags": {
            "Stack": "Test"
        }
    }
}
