The following updates have been made in the Appstore submission process and docs.

| February 19, 2021 | Due to requirements for Android, Amazon will enforce minimum API level requirements for Fire OS 6 and Fire OS 7. See Device Filtering and Compatibility for more information. |
| January 20, 2021 | The Amazon Appstore sales reports added transaction identifiers (UserID, Receipt ID, and Order ID) fields, which will help you link your internal customer accounts and Amazon accounts. See Sales Reports documentation for more information about the new fields. |
| Sept 28, 2020 | Mexico was added to the list of marketplaces where you can specify a currency for paid apps. However, Mexico does not yet support paid apps or apps with IAP items.
