How does one find the app id for an app in WAB?

Exceedingly simple question from a new WAB user.

I created and modified an app. Where do I find the "app item id" for it in Web AppBuilder? 

I'm looking at this part of the documentation:

My main goal is to share this on a public website, so I understand I can't use the url for the app that is tied into my actual machine.

cheers

Yes, I created the app in WAB Developer Edition. Apologies for not making this clear previously. It sounds like I need to download the app and deploy on webserver.

I'm hoping I'm on the right track now:

Are you using the Developer edition of Web AppBuilder or the Web AppBuilder that comes standard with ArcGIS Online or Enterprise? From your latest response I'm guessing you're using the standard version. 

With the standard edition of Web AppBuilder, it behaves just like any other app built in ArcGIS Online/Enterprise. Simply share it and all underlying components publicly. From the Item Details page, if you click 'View' that is the link to your app.

You can send out that link to your users. If your ArcGIS Online organization does not allow anonymous users you will need to use the public URL that is discussed in the documentation that you referenced. The public URL is the same URL as the URL we got from the view button, but you remove your organization address from it. For Example:

Here is the 'view' URL for a public WAB app
https://dbsne.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=1292c34acf254cffb2dc18b96cab13de

Here is the 'public' URL for that same WAB app
https://arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=1292c34acf254cffb2dc18b96cab13de 

The only difference is that I removed everything before 'arcgis.com'. Either link will work as my organization allows anonymous access. 

If you are unsure about which link will work with your organization test it out by using both versions of your URL in a browser in InCognito Mode.

Thank you for the detailed steps here, but I should have mentioned earlier that I created this app using WAB Developer Edition.
