Submit Your Apps and Games

Publish your apps and games on the Amazon Appstore.
Why Amazon?

App submission for Android apps and games is easy - 85% of submitted apps just work when they are submitted to the Amazon Appstore, with no additional modification. Also, because Fire OS is based on Android, the apps and games you publish will be available on millions of Fire tablets, Amazon Fire TVs, and Android devices in 236 countries and territories. What's more, we offer unique monetization opportunities, including Merch by Amazon, which allows you to design and sell branded t-shirts without any upfront costs. For more information, check out our free developer guide to publishing, promoting, and making money with your apps and games.

Before you can submit an app, you must register for a free developer account. If you have questions about the user permissions for your developer account, see Setting User Permissions for the Amazon Appstore.
