Avg. turnaround time: App submissions to Amazon (Kindle Fire)?

Anyone had much experience with submitting apps to Amazon Marketplace for Android (Kindle Fire)?
Curious to know: What's the average turnaround time for review/approval (presuming the app isn't rejected after review)? For Apple, we generally cite 1-2 weeks.
Josh

Average time is 3-5 days. Sometimes Amazon says that they need more time to review the App (I presume that that's when they find any concern) so I've seen them take upto 9 days on some apps.

  • Creating in app-purchases for Amazon Kindle Fire

    Dear Adobe Community,
    my settings so far:
    I'm using the InDesign CS6 Digital Publishing Suite,
    running on a Professional Subscription.
    And ran into some problems with the Amazon Fire in app-purchase system. Let me explain:
    My multi-folio app is currently running on Apple iOS and Android and was - accordingly - successfully published into the Apple Store and Google Play.
    Now, the next step was the publishing on Amazon Kindle Fire via the Amazon Developer Console.
    The viewer is running fine, no problems there; the same goes for the free folio.
    On the other hand, the in app-purchases won't. The in app-purchase is submitted, the Amazon Developer portal marked it as "Live", but it won't appear in the viewer.
    According to this discussion: Amazon in App & Subscription Purchases it is necessary to match the Amazon SKU number with the Product ID in the Folio Producer, which I did. Do I still have to contact Amazon to achieve a successful launch?
    Viele Grüße from Germany,
    Maximilian

    DPS no longer supports Amazon in-app purchases.

  • Amazon Kindle Fire Support?

    Are the touch apps supported on the Amazon Kindle Fire?

    Hi David,
    Not at this time. The Adobe Touch Apps require a compatible Android tablet running Honeycomb 3.1 or higher, and a minimum screen resolution of 1280 X 800. More info in the Touch Apps FAQ. I believe the Kindle Fire has a screen resolution of 1024 x 600, and runs a modified version of Gingerbread.
    Thanks for posting!

  • Testing apk files on the B & N Nook/Amazon Kindle Fire

    Can someone provide some guidance on how to test on the B & N Nook Device and the Amazon Kindle Fire. I am aware that both devices are Android-based and accept the apk files. However, I would like to test on both devices but I am not sure that these devices have the developer debugging options.

    Michael - I got this exact same message yesterday from Amazon when I submitted my free DPS Tips app. Amazon approved it previously, but now they rejected it for the same reason. Currently, the Viewer Builder enables in-app purchases for all apps. Either Amazon needs to stop rejecting free viewer apps, or we need to add a setting in Viewer Builder to indicate the viewer is free. Someone from the DPS team is talking to the Amazon reps. I'll let you know what I find out. Sorry about the inconvenience.

    A word of caution:
    the Amazon Appstore checks for Kindle Fire support AFTER it accepts app updates.  So a developer can unknowingly break KF support, and still get app updates accepted into the store!
    Here is an e-mail I just sent to Amazon's KF team:
    FYI, there is a significant loophole in your submission pipeline:
    1) All my apps use Adobe AIR.
    2) For the longest time, they were all compiled with AIR 2.7 so there was no problem.  I got a bunch of downloads, including from Kindle Fire users.
    3) A week ago, I updated most of my apps to AIR 3.1, and broke Kindle Fire support, without my realizing it, because I didn't know that the KF only supports AIR 2.7.  Unfortunately, all the updates with broken KF support were accepted into the store!!!
    4) Now I am getting users complaining that their apps no longer work on Kindle Fire.
    What should have happened: NONE of the updates should have been accepted after it was realized by your review team that they broke Kindle Fire support, while previous versions worked fine on it and KF users downloaded them.  Reviewing KF support separately, after the initial review/acceptance, is not a good process!
    In any case, I have re-submitted all my apps with the release note 'Restored Kindle Fire support'.  What I did was use 'captive runtime' for compiling all my AIR 3.1 apps, which normally means that the app will not require an external AIR runtime to function.  Hopefully, this will work this time.  If not, I am going to have to re-compile everything using AIR 2.7, which is a major drag since some of the features I depended on are part of AIR 3.1.

I've been on tech support with Amazon and they did everything they could to assist me (such as resetting my kindle, uninstalling and reinstalling skype, ect.) but every time I try my mic out "Echo123" can't hear me. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I tell if it's skype or my kindle? Do I need to return my kindle and get a new one? I'd appriciate any feedback!
    Mine worked and then just stopped, don't know how to enable the Mic now, it was great on Skype, but how now Brown cow?

  • App audio plays while Kindle Fire screen is locked

    I am hoping someone has found a solution to this issue:
    If I put my Kindle Fire to sleep using the power button, when I wake it back up, the app's audio begins playback while the screen is still locked.
    All the other soft keys on the device control the app and the audio as expected.
    As far as I can tell, it seems that when the Event.ACTIVATE fires, the app runs and Amazon just tosses a screen-lock overlay on top. My app is running at full frame rate (and playing audio) underneath the screen lock, but there are no events I can listen for to tell when the unlock happens.
    I'm probably missing something, but shouldn't there be an event type in the NativeApplication class that we can listen for? Everything I've tried so far doesn't work.
    I haven't submitted this to Amazon yet, but it seems likely to be rejected. Any ideas appreciated!

    Yeah, this is a problem I had to solve about a year ago. Android's guidelines suggest you should pause your game on a DEACTIVATE event and then require user input, like a tap on a pause screen, before resuming your app. So that's what I ended up doing. I built a semi-transparent pause screen that overlays the entire screen and app, and then unpauses on the next tap. And I also had to handle resizing the pause screen when the app auto-orients.
    For audio I'd originally built a sound class that listened to ACTIVATE and DEACTIVATE events and would pause themselves accordingly, but I ended up tying their pause/unpause mechanism to the app's pause resume.
    Oh, and you will probably want to build a lock parameter into your pause method, so that in some situations the only code that can unpause the app is the code that passes the same lock/unlock string. Otherwise, you might find your app resuming when it wasn't suppose to.
    Hope that helps. Oh, and testers with the Samsung App Store sometimes think they are designers and sometimes may reject your app because they say the pause screen should have gone away automatically. Don't listen to them. Try filing a petition explaining your app is following Android guidelines or just resubmit the app and hope for a different tester. And one of the first tests a Samsung tester does is power off and on the screen and see if your app can handle it correctly. So yeah, they are tougher than Amazon.
    But warning. The worst is Google Play. If one app goofs up and inadvertently violates one of their guidelines they may just ban your entire account - nevermind that you may have a 100 other apps published through that account. And they will tell you nothing. Not the name of the app that caused the violation, or even what the violation was - just a "please read our guidelines again." And it could be something as seemingly innocuous as key word stuffing in the apps description - but you won't know what caused it. Sorry, now I'm venting a little. But if you need to publish a large number of apps consider finding a way to spread them out over multiple accounts if you can to protect yourself.

  • QVC purchased Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9

    I purchased this tablet for my wife last Christmas (2013). There are so many versions of this tablet that I'm not sure what instructions to follow to print to my brand new HP Envy 4501. I do know that there are no prompts or menu options on ANY app or the OS refer to a printer... even though most instructions say to find the option in one app or another. My iPad and iPhone work just great so I know the setup of the printer is correct. Any ideas...??

    Hi @Bassetdaddy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.   I see that you would like to learn to print from your Wife’s Kindle Fire HDX 8.9” to your Envy 4501 printer.
    I have included the Printing from Kindle document.  It says “Fire OS 3.0 (Mojito) devices such as the Kindle Fire HD and Kindle Fire HDX tablets support Printing from Kindle”.   To check the operating system of the Kindle, please follow the steps in Amazon’s Determine Your Software Version document.  For additional reference for printing from the Kindle I have included Amazon’s Print From Your Fire Tablet. 
    Please let me know the outcome.

  • HT1414 what to pick? ipod or ipad? i am also tempted by the amazon kindle fire hd.

    Hey, I am very confused. For a present, my relatives asked me to pick whatver i want, and i really want an apple device of my own. What do i pick? i really dont need a phone, i alredy have a samsung galaxy.

    It all depends upon what you want to use it for. The Fire is only good if you are really an Amazon shopper.

  • Kindle Fire: inconsistent stageWidth/stageHeight (urgent)

    hi all, this is a major issue for me and will be for others wanting to be Kindle Fire approved by amazon: when you first launch your app on the kindle fire, you get the approriate stage width and height. depending on your device orientation, it will be 1024x600 - 20 pixels from the bottom fo the screen (so you will have either 1024x580 or 1004x600).
    again, on first launch of the app this is fine, but for some reason on subsequnet launches of the app you get 1024x600 (or 600x1024). the 20-pixel amazon kindle fire toolbar is still at the bottom, so your app will be oscured if you assume those extra 20 pixels are available. currently rhere is no way of determining that this is happening (aside from saving state after the very first run and remembering that you are on a kindle fire on subsequent launches).
    this needs to be fixed as amazon is declining approval for the kindle because of this issue.

    One very ugly work-around until this issue gets fixed: 
    The very first time you run your app on the kindle after installing it, you get the correct stageWidth and stageHeight. If I notice that I'm on a kindle (580 pixels tall or 1004 pixels tall) I save a flag in a local shared object that I am on a kindle and use that flag on later launches to modify the ui accordingly.
    Hopefully this gets fixed soon. 

  • I have PSTouch v1.3. How to get v1.4 for Kindle Fire HD?

    Hi, I bought PSTouch for my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab, went through some of the tutorials, and went to Adobe Headquarters in San Francico when they gave a very good demo on it.
       So, I've paid the $9.95 and have enjoyed it.  (It seems to behave differently now that my Samsung 10.1 Tab was upgraded from Honeycomb to Ice Cream Sandwich but that's a side issue.) 
    BUT, the main thing -- I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" and my 8.9" version is coming next week. 
    Google Play tells me that the PS Touch app (they are on v1.3 and the KFire version is v1.4)  is compatible with my Samsung 10.1 and is already installed. 
      Amazon says its v1.4 version is compatible with my Kindle Fire HD 7" and my Samsung Galaxy 10.1 Tab (and I've paid for the latter).
    The Google Play site will not recognize Amazon Kindle Fires of any type.   Therefore, the only way for me to get this latest v1.4 for Kindle Fire HD at Amazon is to pay Amazon *another* $9.95 to be able to download this v1.4 update.
       Is there ANY way that you know of that I can just get the v1.4 update for my Kindle Fire without paying a 2nd time for PS Touch?  Thanks. 

    Hello. I felt the same frustration a couple of weeks ago- after downloading what was supp.-to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. So I opted for FF 3.6 at, at least until I could decipher FF4 - which I still have not! As I recall, I simply Googled : Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 3.6 version downloads and a link for that version was listed.

  • Folios do not appear in Kindle Fire edition

    Trying to test (side load) on the Kindle Fire currently with a multi-folio edition using DPS Pro. I have been following these instructions http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/targeting-amazon-kindle-fire.h tml
    For some reason the library view on the App is blank. I cannot get the Folios to appear. Anyone have a similar problem?

    Hi Casey,
    thank you very much for your help. It seems as amazon has changed the acceptance of "not working" Apps and does not publish/supress them any more. I did as you described and get back an rejection:
    Your app has failed a test case.
    Bug Description: Functionality Failure
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Download,install and launch the app
    2. Blank screen appears.
    OS/Device(s)/Form Factor: 4.0.3/Samsung Tab2/Tablet.
    Seems like its not possible to publish to kindle at the moment? Do you have a contact at amazon, who could maybe assist me?
    Thanks again in advance
