appbackr has just released a new API that gives developers all of the data in the US Google Play store for free at This can give any developer a big advantage by letting them look at all the competition.

The API key is generated on your profile page as soon as you create a new account.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Guys,

Just an update. We can't repackage apps in time for the end of the program tonight. If you still want to submit an HTML5 app, use this guide: tools.appbackr.com/porting-html5-apps-tizen-guide

It will give you everything you need. Then you can add your app and include "appbackr" in the Comments to Validation Team field. Then if you have another minute, send us a note at tizeniac@appbackr.com with the Content ID.

Yes, this program ends tonight but this is just the beginning for TIZEN!!!!

appbackr can repackage your HTML5 apps if they are submitted to us by 5 pm PST 12/30. We will get the files back to you on 12/31 and you can submit it to the Tizen Store that day and send us the Content ID.

If you want to repackage the app yourself, here are the instructions: tools.appbackr.com/porting-html5-apps-tizen-guide/http://tools.appbackr.com/porting-html5-apps-tizen-guide

If you have any questions, email us at tizeniac@appbackr.com

We are also looking for some help with Scirra apps this weekend. If you have a few hours of time, email us at tizeniac@appbackr.com

appbackr is working with Amazon to help HTML5 developers get more distribution.

Did we get the right names from you? It doesn't remove the app from our system but it does slow the scoring.

Yes, we send payment with PayPal.

We send money via PayPal.

We wanted to post an update about submitting Tizen apps to the store and the cash incentives with appbackr. Let us know if you have any questions!

First, the Tizen App Challenge ends Dec 8 2013.   To enter the challenge, your app must be submitted to the Tizen Seller Store by Dec 4 2013. We have two tutorials at tools.appbackr.com to help.

Our guide to adding your app to the Tizen Seller Store is tools.appbackr.com/add-app-to-tizen

Our guide to submitting to the Tizen App Challenge is tools.appbackr.com/developers/enter-tizen-app-challenge

Add your app to Tizen at the same time you send your app to appbackr for scoring and the cash incentive. If you need your app repackaged by appbackr, we must have it by Dec 1 11:59 PST. You can repackage the app yourself with these instructions tools.appbackr.com/porting-html5-apps-tizen-guide

We're been really excited from the response and the 100s of apps ported over.

We just wanted to add here the easiest way to add the required button functionality. You can add this:

    document.addEventListener('tizenhwkey', function(e) {

    alert(e.keyName);

        if(e.keyName == "back"){

           tizen.application.getCurrentApplication().exit();

        }

        if(e.KeyName == "menu"){

        alert("MENU");

        }

    });

Roberto,

We sent feedback to all developers via Zendesk. Do you want to send us the app name by email or Twitter? —

If it is verified by Tizen, it qualifies for cash.

Paradox,

All apps have been contacted via a Zendesk interface. If you did not get a response, email us at tizenovv@appbackr.com and we can send you the information.
