Did you get your app on Amazon as easy as Google Play?

simple question.

Google Play seem to be, pay the reg fee and you can upload anything you want and its live in a hr or two no questions asked.

Amazon is free, and ask for allot more info.

Im guessing they use live testers?
Can they be picky?

App is fine, I worry about icon grafix and description more then anything.

As I just copied and pasted the text from my live google play app, no idea how it will look formated on their end.

Well I ended up emailing them about it, they removed the app from the review system, I then edited the description and re-did the icon images again.

And this time it only took about 5 days, go the approval email about 12hr ago, still waiting for it to show up live.

as simple as my first stuff is, glad to have it pass the test.

first app was easy, 2nd app Ive gotten the run around.

first they didn't like my title miss match, that was on purpose.

now I get this email.


"This app appears to be sending unencrypted, sensitive information. In this instance, the [ PASSWOR.] is being sent in clear text. Please update the app to encrypt all sensitive information.

OS/Device:4.0.1/Samsung S2"

my reply

This is a simple shortcut app. No sensitive information is sent or received by the app.

You click a button and you are forwarded to a website.

The app uses the chosen default browser on a said device.

If the person testing has an unsecured browser, that is not the apps fault.

When you send information to website or web service or w/e, it IS the app's responsibility to encrypt it before sending it up. Whatever browser you are using, it should be encrypted before it even reaches the browser's control. Amazon is correct in their assessment.

no information is sent, its no more then a browser link shortcut widget app.

And this is my 2nd app ive sent in to them, the first one they approved with no problems and its 100% the exact same app/coding, but with different logos and shortcut links.
