Hello All,
Figured I'd share my experiences with getting my app out for the NOOK which is now available: http://logbookpro.com/bn/nook This is probably the most painful and extensive application and submission process I've gone through as compared to Apple and Amazon. The Barnes & Noble NOOK developer account and app submission process is done in four steps: 1) Apply for a developer account - approval required before you can proceed 2) Submit your Bank/Tax information - they actually compare it with what is on file with the IRS - approval required before you can proceed 3) Submit the meta data for your app (everything except the apk file). They were more strict in what I could write, i.e. I had to remove the part that my app requires a cloud sync subscription to have the app share data with the PC even though it has nothing to do with the app 4) Finally the APK could be submitted and then approved The first two steps took WEEKS!!! The last two steps only took 2-3 days each. You have to include screenshots of the dimensions for the NOOK, I did that using their emulator config file. The Barnes & Noble developer portal is pretty nice, I especially like that they have the "plugin" for the Android emulator to allow you to test with their device image, size, etc. So be forewarned, it's a long process and four phases to go from start to published app. Pay attention to all the guidelines such as the app icon for the web site (300x300px) has to have a backcolor, cannot be transparent ( your .png is inspected ) etc. Thank you Xamarin!!! It's great to be able to have such a wide reach using the Mono* tools. Neal Culiner NC Software, Inc. <http://www.nc-software.com/> http://www.nc-software.com/
