Marketplace: Difference between revisions

Over the coming months Mozilla is streamlining Marketplace to allocate resources to other areas of Connected Devices.

Marketplace no longer accepts submissions for Android, Desktop and Tablet, and has removed all apps that don’t support Firefox OS.  However we will continue to accept Firefox OS app submissions until mid-2017. Apps that run on Desktop and Android no longer function on those platforms [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/firefox-dev/WV2XkVN3sWQ since the Web Runtime (WebRT) is removed and is no longer able to install or launch apps].

We have removed support for payments, for both paid apps and in-app payments. The web gives developers the freedom to choose any payment method and Firefox Marketplace should not be a gatekeeper. If you have payments set up, it means you may need to change your payment provider, make your app free, and/or move payments to be contained within your app or website. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes. We will continue to allow submissions and updates for free Firefox OS phone apps, and there are millions of users that we will continue to support.

A. Applications in Marketplace will continue to work on Firefox OS devices. If the app is not listed as compatible with Firefox OS, it has been disabled (not listed in the catalog), but still accessible to the owner on the developer portal.

A. Marketplace had discontinued submission of apps for Desktop, Android and Tablets.  It had also removed the Paid Apps options to the submission process.  We will continue to review apps submitted for Firefox OS.  We have also discontinued the special submission process for China and for low memory devices.
