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.

For an overview of the app submission process, watch the following video tutorial.

Get support

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