Sweet! That's good to know. :)

I'm probably still not there yet, but it means I'm at least one app (NinJump) closer than I would be otherwise.

They sometimes take into account apps written by developers for third parties, so if a developer has contracted for a number of companies and those companies apps have done well, they can get TD status.

250,000? bull. There are top developers with only one or two apps, which have no more than 5000 downloads

    Hi John,

    Looks like I missed you :(.

    I did talk to the Dev-Rel team about your situation, and
    unfortunately they look for multiple high rated apps, so just one
    wouldn't qualify. The reason for that is consistence rather than
    it being a "Top app" award. They also mentioned that the Top
    Developer requirements shift as the market grows, so it's
    developers need to be in the top x% for active downloads,
    ratings, etc. which is why they rarely give out a set figure (The
    figure of multiple over 250,000 was a year or two old, and the
    exact percentile wasn't revealed).

        It's the run up to IO, so they're snowed under at the
        moment. If I bump into one of them while I'm there I'll
        check to see if it's enough to qualify or whether they want
        multiple applications with good ratings.

        I sent messages to two Devrel's I know and no response. I
        have an app with over 3,000,000 downloads, 20,000+ comments
        and a 4.3 average rating. Is that enough?

            The most likely reason for not getting it is not having
            enough apps with enough downloads or high enough ratings.

            They link to a Google Plus profile that doesn't allow
            private messages.

            I appreciate the advice from Al Sutton, but it's been
            a dead end so far.

                I guess I could go through the list, starting with
                the guy in Canada since it is a bit closer than
                California, where the majority appear to live.

                In any case, thanks for passing this on. The
                Developer Console help makes it sound like "Top
                Developer" is lot like "featured" where you don't
                expect to influence the decision or know why.
