Registering New Applications

   The application publishing process is managed through the TV Seller Office.
   
   

2. Select "Applications" and click the "+ Create App" button at the top of the right. Choose the type of application to register with "*.wgt" and fill out other information such as developer information, application information, and country for release.

   When application package file is uploaded, the pre-test checks the application package to make sure that all required information is present, and also checks for common security issues and defects. Your application must pass the pre-test before you can proceed with registration.
   
   

4. Enter distribute information
   Select "Request New Release" button at "Applications > Distribute". You should select device model groups where you want to distribute your application.

   • Application name and basic information, such as developer information, application information, and country for release. The availability of the application name is checked.

   • Test information, such as TV model groups for release and application files.
     
     

6. Complete the pre-test.
   The pre-test checks the application package to make sure that all required information is present, and also checks for common security issues and defects. Your application must pass the pre-test before you can proceed with registration.

   After passing the pre-test and completing the application registration, the Samsung Apps TV Seller Office tests your application:

   • If there are no defects, your application is published on Samsung App Store.
   • If your application has defects, you must correct them and submit a new version of your application. For more information, see Application Certification.
