My quest on Amazon Appstore: the story so far...

Far far away… i have submitted 2 games to Amazon Appstore. All 2 games are ready for Kindle Fire and build with last version of Corona.

The 2 games are the same game, but one has steampunk theme and the other has pirates theme, so the only change is the graphics and the soundtracks, all the rest is the same.

The 2 games have been sent the same day, one after another, practically at the same time. with all the assets(screenshot, icon…) in the right place.

Its all ok, but at what point we are now?

One game approved and now live, one game in Pending status… :slight_smile:

Why? this is the mail:

“Thank you for your e-mail. Dedaloop v 1.0 requests unnecessary permissions. On installation, the application requested permission for “Full Internet Access.” However, after browsing through the application, we could find no application features that require network access.”

So if i follow this instruction, i must remove Launchpad support from my game. But remember, the other game was live and has the same permission!!!

What can i do? for remove the launchpad support, i must set it in settings to false, but how can access to remove the internet permission. i don’t set it.

Any idea?

I would suggest on of the following…

  1. Install apktool, edit manifest to remove internet permission & re-pack your apk. http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

  2. explain them app made with CoronaSDK (I’m sure they recognize it) and uses analytics which requires internet access…

  3. place a button in your credits screen (if you have one) that opens up your website (or fb page, twitter, etc.) in a web-popup which makes that permission valid…

App store approval processes are so inconsistent… [import]uid: 71767 topic_id: 19063 reply_id: 73505[/import]

My game took 3 weeks to approve, and still waiting for approval of Kindle Fire specifically. So ya it takes a while. [import]uid: 99244 topic_id: 19063 reply_id: 73546[/import]
