Certifying and Publishing Applications

After you have packaged your application, you are ready to certify and publish your application.

To certify and publish your application:

  1. Upload your application to Samsung Apps Seller Office for certifying.

    Samsung Apps Seller Office compares the manifest file in the package to the original file that was created when the application was registered and defined on the bada developer site. Samsung Apps Seller Office checks whether the application functions properly.

    If your application passes the check, it gets signed as a certified application installer package, <Application_name>.oap, which contains the <Application_name>.zip file and a signature.xml file.

  2. Check your application to Samsung Apps Seller Office for selling.

    Samsung Apps Seller Office checks whether the application functions properly. If the application is approved, the application status on the bada developer site changes from "Development" to "In operation". When the application has this status, it is no longer possible for you to modify the application.

    If the application is not approved by Samsung Apps Seller Office, its status remains as "Development".

The bada developer site and Samsung Apps Seller Office provide you with convenient tools to manage the life-cycle of your mobile application once it is in operation. If you want to upgrade your application after certification, see Upgrading Applications. If you want to withdraw your application from distribution and operation, you need to request for application retirement on Samsung Apps Seller Office.
