Update Your Web-Based Apps in Amazon Developer Console

Amazon Appstore has discontinued the Creator Service and the web-based app submission process. If you used both services to create apps for Fire TV and tablets, you can update your apps to a new version in Amazon Developer Console.

All web apps have been converted to Android apps on Amazon Developer Console. You can update your apps by submitting a new Android package app, with the same package name and a higher version number.

To update your apps

Sign in to the Amazon Developer Console using your Amazon developer credentials.
From the navigation bar, choose My Apps. Find your app, expand the row, and then select View to open the app listing.
In the Current Version section, click the Upload your app file .
Click the Manifest icon to display the Manifest Details prompt. You see your app's current package name and version number.
In your project's config.xml file, set the version and android-versionCode attributes in the <widget> element to a new version number and version code that are higher than the current version.

The following code block is an example from the config.xml file, which indicates that a submitted app had version number 2.0.3 and version code 124.

<widget id="com.example.webapp" version="2.0.3" android-versionCode = "124"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

From the example, change the version number from 2.0.3 to to 2.0.4 and version code from 124 to 125, indicating a minor version upgrade.

Test your app. Follow the instructions in the App Tester User Guide and Get Started with Live App Testing.
(Optional) Generate a release variant of your app. Follow the instructions in Cordova build command.
Submit your updated app. Follow the instructions in Submit Your App to the Amazon Appstore.
Check your app submission.

To check if you successfully submitted your app

Sign in to Amazon Developer Console.
From the navigation bar, choose My Apps. Find your app, expand the row, and then select View to open the app listing.
On the Upload your app file screen, make sure your app has a newer version number and code.
