Publishing App Inventor in the Market

The cat is out of the bag. There’s  a primer out on how to publish an App Inventor app in the Android market, via androidworld.it. It takes some work using the Java SDK and some command-line tools but it doesn’t look to awful.

The cat being out of the bag is big news and could help with the next step– one-click publishing directly from App Inventor.

  5. All – Regarding publishing to the Market, FYI, there is a really nice desktop tool that can take an app created with App Inventor and package it for Google Android Market. The tool is called “AppToMarket” and it can be found at… http://amerkashi.wordpress.com/ …and it works really nice, including having a feature for “install to SD” which is essential IMHO. Very nice. HTH. Thank you. – Mark Kamoski

  6. Luxury watches are totally flawless except the
    heavy price tags, which make them inaccessible for many people.
    Leather strap and buckle button just to look better.
    Many luxury watch companies actually prohibit sale of their watches online by their dealer network.

  7. After going over a handful of the blog posts on your web page,
    I seriously like your way of blogging. I added it to my
    bookmark webpage list and will be checking back in
