Overview
Applications are, by default, shared by the account, meaning, it does not matter which site carries out the uploading, the application is available to all sites included in the account. However, if you do not want to make it available to other sites, you can restrict access to it. It is also possible to append files to the application. These actions can be determined when you are adding an application to the account or later on (so long as the application has not already been included in a configuration or deployment). See Editing an Application and Appending Files to an Application.
Step-by-step

to upload the application.
Make sure you do not already have an application with the same name as the application you want to upload.
