Are we able to publish games to Samsung Apps?

I read that this is a very good market in terms of selling paid apps.

I don't quite unterstand this part "Get your app certified at Samsung Apps"... if it allows us to publish GS apps there.

Yes, it's another android store like Amazon or Google Play.

So you can submit your android apps there. They have quite a rigorous testing process and actually send you videos if you have any errors that cause the app to fail the process.

And what about certificates? They write something like this:

"If your app is based on Android, you need to protect your app from illegal copying with the Application License Management (Zirconia) Library"

And according to the description this librery has to be added somehow into the code, which is impossible with GS.

It's sad it doesn't been answered.

Hi, i've published over 10 apps on samsung store with GS, but to publish
them I had to do a lot of revisions of my apps, but it's not always enough
to be able to publish them.
After 1 year i did only $ 50 and I never received the payment.

@pinkio75 so you just need to upload apk file?

@imGua
yes i've only upload the signed APK, but the revision process is very very rigid, my app has ben rejected for 3/6 times and usually they send you a video review.

Don't worry about Zirconia, i'm never enable it, because is impossible to add it with GS;

One thing that they equire is that when leaving the game "when they push key Home" to go on the desktop of your tablet/phone, "maybe to respond a incoming call" after then when they relaunch the game they would find the game in "pause state", i thinks this is impossible for us GS user, because this is a "Software/Hardware" connection and for this reason i could not publish many games in samsung market; in any case i repeat is a very poor market for the sales.
