Currently veracode github actions allow us to specify only one single app for scanning. What if we need to scan multiple apps

We can use github actions matrix strategy. Refer https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-a-matrix-for-your-jobs for more details
We can pass the list of apps to be scanned as matrix outputs and then perform the veracode scanning in the second job. For eg
Refer attached file for sample code. This editor does not allow code to be entered neatly as the text gets wrapped.
When the github action runs, it will spin off 3 separate runners which will scan those multiple apps accordingly. All those apps will be scanned in parallel as well.
Thank you.
When using github matrix, set fail-fast to false. Default is true. With that strategy, when one job will be failed, all other jobs will be cancelled. Hence set it to false.
strategy:
fail-fast: false
matrix:
