Hey guys/gals,
does someone here develop for Samsung Apps (Android OS)?
I am just curious if us CoronaSDK devs are able to sell there and if so does that store be “good” by any way?
Thanks,

That’s a good question - I don’t know the answer but will ask the rest of the team and see what they say

Rodrigo,
Yes, I’ve heard of at least one Corona app that was submitted to Samsung’s app store. Unfortunately, I don’t remember who or which app, but I remember helping him get past an issue that was blocking him during Samsung’s app review process.
You might as well try it, right? It’s another opportunity to make money with your app… and I would imagine (and I’m guessing) that Samsung’s app store would be popular in Korea. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 83604[/import]
@Joshua, thanks for the attention and reply. Yes, I do not see (at first only) anything that would make us unable to sell our Corona SDK Apps there.
So, after your reply I will check more details about that store and if it seens clear Ill try to apply there. If so Ill inform for you (ansca team) about it.
Many thanks also for Mrs @Peach regarding my question.
Cheers,

No worries Rodrigo, even if all I did was grab the Android expert (Josh) to assist 
Would love to hear how the process goes for you if you try to apply with Samsung

Rodrigo,
I’d love to hear what your experience was like with the Samsung app store… as well as from others too. If the Samsung app store becomes popular enough, then we’ll have to add in-app purchase support for the Samsung app store too. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 84505[/import]
@Peach & @Joshua - No worry buddys! Ive applied today to be a developer there at SAMSUNG Apps. Am in the proccess of waiting for them to "review" my bank account info as Ive applied to have full account (free apps/paid apps) and so, to be able to have paid apps there I must wait there approval status.
BTW am able to try to “put” there any free app that I want already and so I am “studying” making a simple free one just to see the "submitting/review/etc proccess of them and also to see if it really “value” any “headache” I may have submitting apps there.
I will report here as I make any progress with it as it very nice to have the advice of both of you.
Thanks,
Rodrigo. [import]uid: 89165 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 84620[/import]
Interesting - please do keep us up to date.
I would also be interested in hearing how long it takes them to approve your account. (I expect if others look into building apps for this market they may ask as well.)

Any news on this, bringing apps to the Samsung market?
Samsung just contacted us, they want us to bring our apps to their market.
So I would love to hear if it’s worth the effort.
Best,
Andreas

After so much time spent on this with Samsung, I have decided that there isnt a good market (at least for my business focus in this moment), but I can say that they do accept Corona apps as well. BTW, its just my own opinion about that.

Hi all,
Sorry for re-opening an old thread but a client of mine has asked me to discover if it is possible to deploy their app to the Samsung market. I replied that it should be possible but they have contact me to let me know it’s been rejected with the following reason. I should note there were two other reasons which have been fixed, but this remains a problem.
“
Lock screen appears after Back key is pressed after Hold Off
1. Turn OFF HOLD mode.
On Hold Off the Lock Screen should display”
“Hold” here seems to mean what I think of as the “power” button. So when the app is running and the device is put “On Hold” then taken “Off Hold” the lock screen should show up. But it doesn’t. I feel like I have no control over this within Corona code, is there any chance I have done something that could affect this or is it a Corona SDK problem?
They are testing on a samsung phone and I have a HTC, I cannot reproduce their problem on my phone at all.
Cheers!

Hi,
I would like to have this answered, too - we wanted to start to upload our Corona apps to the Samsung market next week…
Best,
Andreas

@richard.kroon you should got a video with more detail about the issue… from the review team from samsung… [import]uid: 86417 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 119582[/import]
I have no idea what they’re talking about. You are going to have to ask them for more details.
I know for a fact that we have customers with apps on the Samsung App Store. I’m not aware of any issues with backing out of a Corona app. It shouldn’t work any different than any other Android app. Perhaps you are overriding the Back key event and it’s doing something that the app reviewer didn’t expect? That’s the only thing that I can think of. [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 119660[/import]
Hi Joshua and Martin,
They did send a video and it was quite clear what the problem is, perhaps I explained it poorly as it has nothing to do with the “back” button really.
(for the purposes of this explanation I will call the button that makes the screen go dark the “hold” button, if this isn’t the correct nomenclature then please let me know)
The expected behaviour is as follows:
Actual behaviour (On Samsung phones)
I have no behaviour coded for the back button at the time of submission, I will be adding some as it needs to also exit the app on pushing the back button from the main screen.
The behaviour it exhibits on the video makes no sense to me. I can make the video available to Joshua if it will help understand the problem?
Cheers,
Richard

i think they want for the back button a menu like exit or not… if you touch it.
it was for my app so… there are some guidelines from goggle also how the back button in a app should work. I think this has sometime to do with that respond from them.
Because you cant get feature if the back button has not the right behaviour ;( [import]uid: 86417 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 119714[/import]
This still doesn’t make any sense to me. An Android app can’t control the lock screen. I’ve never seen an Android app appear when pressing the power button… it always goes to the lock screen first. Honestly, I’m baffled by this. Or perhaps the description is confusing.
Can you post a video of this behavior? If you don’t want to do so publicly here, then you can do so by clicking the “Report a Bug” link at the top of this web page. You should mention my name and this forum post so that our tech-support people will know to contact me. Thanks! [import]uid: 32256 topic_id: 21112 reply_id: 119785[/import]
