I registered for the “Amazon Mobile App Distribution Program” to submit my Android app to the Amazon app store.

How to Register for Amazon Mobile App Distribution Program

You can register for the “Amazon Mobile App Distribution Program” from the following link:

Amazon Mobile App Distribution Program - Amazon.com

Let me briefly outline the registration steps:

1. Profile Information

Fill in necessary information like address and phone number.

2. Mobile App Distribution Agreement

Read through the terms, check the box, and proceed.

3. Payment

Do you plan to monetize apps? Methods may include charging for apps or selling in-app items or displaying ads from Amazon Mobile Ad Network.

You need to enter bank account information, but I selected No for now.

I think you can change this later when you want to monetize.

4. Tax Identity

Do you plan to monetize apps? Methods may include charging for apps or selling in-app items or displaying ads from Amazon Mobile Ad Network.

Since this isn’t a paid app, I skipped this too.

Submitting Android Apps to Amazon App Store

From here, it’s just like other stores like Apple or Google Play - you fill in app information and upload the apk file, screenshots, etc.

If you get stuck, check the FAQ.

Summary

While there seem to be many registration steps, it’s good that you can put apps developed for Google Play Store on another marketplace with minimal changes.

That’s all from the Gemba.
