Web apps discontinued

Amazon Appstore Q&A
1

Hello,

Today we received a notification from Amazon indicating that web apps are no longer supported for new submissions from the developer portal.

We verified that the ‘Mobile Web’ app type is no longer an option when attempting to submit an app from the portal.

Besides the notification emails and a brief on-screen alert within the portal, are there any official links from Amazon further explaining what happened, what to expect from existing web apps, whether or not Android apps will still be supported, etc.?

Thanks.

Hi nw-dev-ott,

Thanks for posting! Yes, Android apps are supported, and you will be able to continue to submit new Android apps via your Developer Portal account.

As for Mobile Web apps, starting Oct 31, 2024, we will no longer be accepting submissions for any new web apps. However, all existing live web apps will continue to be available in Amazon Appstore.
