Thanks for the info. In terms of checking the Reddit page for updates, I don't see any article there with App Gallery in the title. Is there some announcement about dropping it there? If so, would someone please post a link to it?
Dropping the App Gallery isn't big deal to me, as I hadn't looked at it in weeks or probably months. If I knew it was going away, however, I'm sure I would have taken one last look at my app pages. It is a little disconcerting to find out from other developers that Google changed something. A short note to this newsgroup would have been nice.
