Your app should show up in the Android Market on your phone minutes after uploading. When I published an app earlier this year, it showed up almost instantly. Also, in your desktop's Web browser, on your Android Market Developer Console page (http://market.android.com/publish/Home), in the section labeled "All Android Market listings", you should see your app listed as published. > How else can an app be uploaded so that some one might be able > to find it. You can distribute via AndAppStore, or SlideME, or Handango, or any number of other independent markets, or upload it to your own Web site, or upload it to any other Web site. In the latter two cases, make sure the .apk file gets served as the appropriate MIME type (application/vnd.android.package-archive), so the Android Web browser can be used to install the app after downloading. You can also distribute your APK by email, micro SD card, or other means, for the user to put on their SD card, then install via any one of a number of file managers available on the Market. You can also create a QR code to display on your Web site that users with Barcode Scanner or similar software can scan to kick off a download and install, either via a Market URL (I think) or via a download off of a Web site. > Why is this so hard? Over 10,000 apps are in the Market, by some published accounts. That would suggest that the process is not particularly hard. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android 1.6 Programming Books: http://commonsware.com/books --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
