I'm almost ready with developing my first windows phone app. Can anyone tell me how long it will take to get the app in the store. For ios apps the apps must be approved, that usually takes about a week, for Android it usually takes only a couple of hours. How is it for Windows, does Microsoft approve the app?
Second question: I need a url for the app that refers to the windows app store?
Is the url known in advance or do I have to publish first before I know the exact app store url of my app?
Thanks for the help!
First question: At this moment it is around 3 to 4 hours for a republish and a day for normal a full publication. Just submitted an app last week. These times can change, one of my (new) apps was through the publication in 1 hour. Do keep in mind that it can take some time before you see it in the stores (up to 24 hours)
Second question:
When you submit your publication you can see the url of your app.

We have a Android and iOS version of our app. The number of active users on iOS is aproximately 25% of the active user on the Android app.
It happens that the count of Daily New Users of the Android app is always far less then the iOS's. And the this number does not seems to match the increase in Daily Active Users.
The app is br.com.bb.android.
Anyone has an idea of what may be causing this?
Would be great if someone in the Fabric team could take a look into this.
Mike from Fabric here.
For apps where they may come pre-installed or not be opened for a length of time, then the installs may not be counted as a daily new user.
A new user will only be counted if the time between downloading the app and opening it (with foreground activity) is less then 7 days.
I have recently (only two days ago) published an app in Windows Phone Store and want to track the download counts. When I enter Windows Phone Dashboard I can see reviews, but in the quick stats it says that "There haven't been any app downloads in the last 30 days.". I can also see logins in the dashboard of the API that I am using so there must be some downloads. Does it take some time (if so how long) for downloads to be seen in the reports or is there some kind of a glinch (which I doubt) in the dashboard?
Thanks for your responses.
I just developed my first app for windows phone and put it into the windows phone app store. Everything worked fine, I got the message the app was accepted, so I started looking for it in the app store. Many searches later I still couldn't find it.
The other strange part was, that I can't even find it with the direct link which I get under "Link zum Store" (German, stands for: link to store) When I click the link, I 404 page.
Any reason why this is the case, I made the app available in all countries, regions and windows phones 8.1 . The link to the app is: http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=f383f584-a864-4f07-a4bc-5c709f750865
Depending on when the app got published, it might take some time for it to propagate and become available through direct links or search.
For example, I can already see your app through direct link, I can also see it in Windows Phone Store through that link and install it.
it takes a couple of days... MS makes it seem like it will be instantaneous...
My first app took 3 days to "show up"... hurry up and wait :-)
Is-it possible to get the user's current playing track with Deezer API?
I've tried to use history but it seems to get 1 or 2 minutes before adding the last track... No way to get it real time?
I'm working on iOS app.
There are no real time updates for now in the Deezer API. Using the listening history is the right way to proceed.
If you absolutely need real time, you may use Facebook as an intermediary since they have real time updates for the Deezer users who publish their music activity on Facebook.
I'm building an app that include in app purchase (subscription based): the user is required a subscription to consult more that X time a given section of the app per week, however i'm facing a problem as the user can bypass the limitation by changing the time of his iPhone.
I know that one solution would be to verify the time on a server side, but the app is to run without internet connexion...
S how can i get the REAL device time (NOT THE USER DEFINED TIME).
thanks.
