[Seller Office] Application submission policy changes Dear Sellers,

Thank you for using Samsung Apps Seller Office.

This is to inform you that Seller Office’s app submission policy will be changed from July 1, 2014. the changes are listed below.  

    1. When submitting new app in Seller Office, you are required to submit app that was developed using Samsung SDK.

  • ※ Samsung SDKs are the tools that help sellers to make apps using Samsung device-specialized functions such as S Pen, Finger Print, Gesture, Motion and more. Please visit SAMSUNG DEVELOPERS (http://developer.samsung.com/) to download Samsung SDKs and obtain additional information.

  • ※ In case of existing apps registered in Seller Office, the apps can be updated without using Samsung SDK.

    1. Samsung Seller membership will be terminated for those who registered before February 20, 2014 (GMT +09:00), but have not submitted any apps to Samsung Apps Seller Office. (Membership termination date : June 30, 2014)

  Please refer to the below Q&A for more information or contact our Customer Support team (http://help.content.samsung.com/csseller/).   Q 1 : If I submit app before July 1, 2014, should my app use Samsung SDK? A 1 : No, the new policy will be effective from July 1, 2014.   Q 2 : Is it impossible to submit apps without using Samsung SDK from July 1?

  • A 2 : No, but you must use Samsung SDK to submit apps. however, Sellers who have separate contract or partnership with Samsung can submit apps without using Samsung SDK. if you have any question on contract or partnership, please contact our Customer Support team (http://help.content.samsung.com/csseller/).

  Q 3 : If my membership is terminated, how can I obtain membership again?

  • A 3 : You can re-register and obtain a new membership after 72 hours from the most recent membership termination.
