My Android App, which works fine via. Google Play, isn't acceptable for the Amazon App Store.

Two issues:

1. Amazon only likes the arm64-v8a-release.apk, the rest it says 0 devices.

2. And that fails: "We are unable to test your app due to install/launch failure in all compatible devices. Please fix the issue and re-submit the app."

So what magic is needed to get these android apps onto the Amazon Store?

Amazon has an "App Store"? For what?

Well, for one the FireTV and the dev. system I use supports that.

I've talked to some publishers and it's worth doing.

I have an app on Google Play, Word Topics: Unscramble Words.

But if you search for Word Topics you won't see it: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=word%20topics&c=apps

Ditto if you search for the entire name: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=https%3A%2F%2Fplay.google.com%2Fstore%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dword%2520topics%26c%3Dapps&c=apps

The actual app is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oldeskuul.wordtopics

What in the name of all that is holy is going on here?

Welcome to the wonderful world of the google play store lol. It's been like that for years

I never encountered it before. Been on Android since the start too.

Don't they have people who know how to write a search engine :-)

This reminds me of Google Plus. Company is so "Stove Pipped" that they launched Plus without social graph API's for mobile.

Good catches. I may need to find a new team because they have been AWOL for over a week. I have source.

This thing has been in development for too long.

The "please wait" spinner isn't even centered when it rotates. The profile picture is squished. There's probably plenty of other stuff too.

The game part of it is fine, the whole thing just has a half-finished look. If you paid someone to develop this in the hopes of making money, you might want to think about whether any future work is just throwing good money after bad.

Well, we fixed the name thing.

And yeah, I'm going to have to spend more to get all of this polished, I'm just trying to see if it's worth it.

It is my design and this is the 3rd group of developers who have been on it.
