Get Started with App Submission

This page provides an introduction to submitting apps to the Amazon Appstore. Before you can submit an app, register for a free developer account.

Important: To prevent app crashes, app freezing, and IAP failures, make sure every 32-bit library in your 32-bit folder has a corresponding 64-bit library in your 64-bit folder. See Best Practices for 64-bit file submission for more.

Get support

If you need developer support, you have a couple of options:

Appstore forums — "Appstore" space: Post your general questions in the forum.
Contact Us: If your question is specific to your app and might contain private information, use the Contact Us form available from the Developer Console.

The Contact Us page requires you to first log in to the Developer Console. If your session times out, you might see a blank screen. If so, just sign in again.
