In my last post I talked about submitting to other apps stores. I've just given one other a try - Samsung Store.
This one is is quite different to the other alternate stores. It seems to have much more in common with the Apple Store, with a thorough test process in place. You can self certify (along with evidence) but for me the value of the store seems to be to have a third party give my app a thorough compliance test for nothing.
The upload interface is a bit annoying, and includes one of my real hates - a box that follows you down the screen as you scroll down. If I scroll it's because I want everything to move!
Anyway, after about 5 days I got a rejection, because the way I implemented the 'Back' button to close the app didn't follow their guidelines. Fine, and actually useful feedback.
One issue was the feedback took the form of a zip file, that just unzipped to another zip file with a .cpgz extension, which in turn just unzipped to another zip file (infinite loop!). I had to unzip it in Windows in the end rather than on my Mac to read it.
I've resubmitted by app, which wasn't that straight forward, as I find their web interface pretty non-intuitive.
P.S. Downloads from the other stores (apart from SlideMe, but I don't believe their stats) are rubbish. I'll leave it running for a month and publish the results.
