The majority of app developers publish their apps on the Google Play Store but disregard many alternative stores that are popular. The Amazon App Store is another popular app store for publishing your free or paid Android app!

In this guide, I will share the requirements (including image specifications for branding), for publishing your app to the Amazon App Store. I will be publishing my existing Android app (listed here) to the Amazon App Store.

This is an extensive guide, and will cover all of the essential steps to follow for publishing an app on the Amazon App Store.

Complete Guide to Submit Android App to Amazon App Store:

Go to this link & create your Amazon developer account. It is very important that you configure payment options right away. This is especially important for those who are offering in-app purchases or who want to monetize their app using Amazon’s mobile ad network.

    Hello Harsh,

    Thank you harsh for this vital piece of information but i believe uploading apps to
    amazon play store has its own pros and cons ::::

    1) Amazon does not get as much audience as the google play store.
    But having the app on play store as well as on amazon store will always be
    a advantage .

    2) You can also release a version on amazon ,just to check its response towards audience .

    3) You can upload the app for free on amazon while paying some nominal charges on amazon.

    is the app submitted on amazon app store will get traffic equal to play store??

  5. Punit Mahajan

    I think amazon doesn’t give your app many downloads.
    everyone uses google play store.
    submitting is a good option, but your app ought to be on google play store for maximum downloads.
    I am preparing a guide on my site to make android app without coding!
    Thanks Harsh for this valuable information!
