consumers might forget the details or intricacies of your app designs, but will remember how your app made them feel. a positive association with your brand name builds confidence in your products. for some, your brand name is simply your given name, the name you used when you created your galaxy store seller account. this works well if you have a memorable name like matteo dini. galaxy.store/matteodini in many cases though, you may want to create a unique brand name that represents your style. if you have truly different styles, you may consider marketing different brand names. doing so will help build consumer expectations when they associate with these brands independently of each other. if not, consumers may get confused if you publish an app that is entirely different than what they have come to expect. marketing different brands can be achieved in several ways. the first is to apply for an additional seller account and create your second brand independent of the first. a great example of a designer marketing two different brands is tomas joscak from vienna studios. tomas decided he wanted to create an "outlet" brand so he launched vienna studios outlet. each brand has a seller office account independent from the other. galaxy.store/vienna · galaxy.store/outlet however, for watch face and theme designers, this can be a challenge because you would have to apply and submit a new design portfolio with the hopes of being selected again. just because you have been selected once, does not guarantee that your additional brand application will be selected. the success of your seller account influences the ranking of your apps and factors in the selection of galaxy store featured promotions. having separate seller accounts would prevent you from leveraging the success of one brand to assist the other. another option is to simply market different brand names under one seller account. when you publish an app, add a brand name to the title of the app and in the copyright holder field. this will create the appearance of an independent brand from your seller account and your brand name will return results when searched. below are two examples of watch faces i published using different brand names. galaxy.store/bunnystep · galaxy.store/atomict the copyright holder's name appears just below the app title when your app is displayed on galaxy store. by default, if you do not enter a copyright holder's name, your seller name will appear instead. for apps that have already been published, you can still add a copyright holder name (brand name) by going to the seller portal page and clicking update for each app. next, switch the mode from simple to advance to bring up additional settings. scroll down to the copyright holder field and type your brand name. be sure to click "save" before moving on. if you leave the app information page without clicking "save", your changes will be lost. if you haven't already done so, you will need to determine when you would like the update to publish. click the publication button in the sidebar and select from the three options: publish automatically. your app will be published the moment it passes the review. publish on date. you can specify the date and time to publish. be sure to allow enough time for your app to pass the review. publish manually. once your app passes the review, it will remain on hold until you manually publish it. when updating an app, be sure to leave a note for the review team in the comments area on the review page describing the update. click the review button in the sidebar and list the changes in the comments field. if your update is minimal, your app will be reviewed much quicker. be sure to again click the save button and then click the submit button. your update will then be reviewed by the review team. marketing info and resources additional reads: strategies for success look for new releases of my blog series, strategies for success, where i continue to deep-dive into the many areas that can influence your market growth. additional topics to include: brand names (this post) building your fan base consumer trends selling your apps samsung galaxy store: tips for marketing your apps check out my video, samsung galaxy store: tips for marketing your apps to learn more about creating brands, designing marketing graphics, social media tips, badges, and banner promotions. marketing resources looking for even more info about promoting your apps?

note: content was updated on 9 february 2023 to correct information about the podcast. hello everyone! my colleagues are still on holiday, enjoying socially-distant vacations and staycations. while they're on hikes in the sierra mountains and swimming in backyard pools, i'll continue on from my post last week. we made big changes to the layout and function of the samsung developers site in january, so if you haven't explored the site in detail, here are some highlights. d'ya like games? if you're a game developer or have interest in developing games in the future, you'll want to investigate the galaxy gamedev section of the site. our colleagues in the gamedev team are building useful tools for optimizing games so they'll run great on galaxy phones, tablets, as well as other android devices. the gamedev team is updating their content frequently, so if you want to get the most out of your game projects, check back often. if you have existing game titles and you're interested in expanding your user base, spend some time in the galaxy store games section to learn how to list your games (and other apps) in galaxy store. you can also learn how to use samsung's in-app purchase (iap) sdk for new ways to increase your revenue. what's up, docs? we know, what you're looking for is information and ways to develop faster and smarter. a developer site would not be complete without reams of technical documentation describing the apis and tools. that's all there, again, with new ways to view and access the information. most every tool or sdk listed on the top navigation bar has documentation affiliated with it. after choosing a topic from the navigation bar, often you can access the documentation by clicking the "get started" button in the header image, or by scrolling down the page and looking for the specific api you are interested in. for example, if you're looking for information on optimizing your apps for foldable devices, use the main navigation bar to go to build > mobile and then click the galaxy fold icon partway down the page. test, test, & test when you're ready to test your app on a real device, you have a couple of options. the remote test lab allows you to test real devices in labs located in asia, north america, and europe. this includes the latest devices like the galaxy z flip or galaxy s20, as well as galaxy watch and galaxy tab devices. if you have a galaxy android device, you can test locally with your mac, linux, or windows device using the android platform sdk tools. windows users will need to install the samsung-specific usb drivers, which can be found on the developer portal. feed me, again i mentioned the rss feed features of discourse in my earlier post. if it's not obvious, i really enjoy the convenience and consistency of reading my day's worth of news all within one app. if i find an article or topic that i want to read in more depth, i'll click the heading and go to the site in my mobile browser or save it for later reading on the desktop. here, you can see that i can read all the latest posts from android enthusiast sites, the ny times, and our very own product teams. the link to the samsung developers portal (sdp) rss feed can be found at the footer of every page, or you can simply add https://developer.samsung.com/feed to your favorite rss reader. we got you covered if you have a question that can't be answered in the public forums, you can request support through the portal dashboard. if you log into the site using your samsung account id, you can submit a ticket to our developer support team. to check on the status of your ticket and read feedback, visit the dashboard support page. in addition to submitting and viewing support tickets, the portal dashboard is your gateway to special partner benefits. for example, if you're a registered galaxy themes or galaxy watch creator, you can use the dashboard to access tools, services, and sdks for developing new content. from the dashboard, you can also sign up for our monthly newsletter or withdraw membership from the developer program altogether. pow! while it's not exactly a feature of the site, it's an example of the ways we're trying to reach developers. my colleague tony morelan started working on a new podcast earlier this year. tony's guests are a mix of samsung thought leaders and successful galaxy store sellers. tony has a lot of enthusiasm for design and he's always searching for his next great topic. give him a listen on your favorite podcasting app or by visiting our podcast archive. we still 💙 feedback i hope you're enjoying the new layout and design of the site. if you have suggestions (or even bug reports), hop into the feature requests section of the forums and let me know. thank you for being a samsung developer.

hackers' playground, the first hacking experience event at the samsung developer conference (sdc), was held during sdc19 in san jose. the security team at samsung research hosted this event to help developers learn about the importance of security and how to protect their own code. the event was open to any software developer or security researcher. many developers, from newbies to masters, attended the event to learn or show off their hacking skills. hackers' playground featured two programs, hacking 101 and open ctf. hacking 101 hacking 101 was a hacking tutorial zone where developers could learn hacking skills such as attack, defense, and reversing. the security team prepared fascinating examples with their own step-by-step guide, and the skilled engineers from the team assisted the attendees. in addition, attendees had a chance to get cool souvenirs after the tutorial. open ctf among hackers, capture the flag (ctf) is a well-known hacking competition. the security team prepared jeopardy-game-show-style challenges in five categories: attack, defense, reversing, crypto, and coding. at the end of each session, there was an awards ceremony and a drawing. the winners of each category received brand new samsung products such as a portable ssd or jbl bluetooth speakers. the winners received the latest galaxy watch active ii as well as serious bragging rights. many attendees stayed in the event zone for hours and were eager to find and fix security vulnerabilities. they left review comments such as “it was nice to be able to think of code from an attackers' point of view, not a developers'” and “i want to participate in this event again in next sdc.” samsung takes security very seriously and is involved in a variety of security-related activities. among the various activities, the 3rd samsung security tech forum (sstf) ended with unprecedented success in seoul, south korea.
