Ludwig's WRAP-UP
The phrase "application is published" is grammatically sound and describes when an application (software, patent, etc.) becomes publicly available. While Ludwig notes its use across various contexts, including science, news, and formal business, it's crucial to specify the type of application you're referring to and to avoid using it when an application is merely submitted, not yet released. Consider synonyms like "released" or "launched" for different shades of meaning and a more dynamic effect. Therefore, its use is correct, but context-dependent.
