just got my confirmation from google, app inventor is up and running! i think it would be a good idea to maybe get a thread goin for everything app inventor/a help page for using it. just a thought
Dear Google,
GIVE ME MY CONFIRMATION EMAIL!!!
I'll give you a cookie.
-Blueman
I go one, I tried it, turns out I still fail :')
I got mine a couple of weeks ago. It will definitely take some learning on my part. Fun though. It would be nice to have a thread for tips and tricks. I wrote a little about it on my blog, link below in my signature.
I signed up for it a couple weeks ago. Do I have to be a registered developer in order to receive the invitation?
Got my invite too.
I didn't get my invite but I am able to get in and create projects.

Wrong... but nice try.
I simply was logged into my Google account and went to the app inventor page there was a my projects link on the top. I clicked it, I was able to access app inventor. As a word of caution make sure you have the app inventor extras installed prior to trying to use the blocks, it can / will be kind of screwy if you don't.
Now we'll need a new section on XDA..

lolz. has anyone actually successfully made an app using this?
Made the tutorial hellopurr app in about 5 minutes...the install was about 4mb though
I'm able to log in with out an invite too. Cool!
I've made some little things with it.
I need it to be able to parse RSS, or at least XML, before I'm able to implement any of my actual wanted-app ideas with it, though.

I don't know, I think it does have SOME potential. Believe it or not, there are people like me out there with VERY limited java experience that have some neat app ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do with the inventor.
I do agree that everybody and their mother will probably be making the stupid "click the cat to hear a purr" app knockoff .
There should be a marketplace filter for app inventor apps so you know what you're signing up for haha

So what I just read: Google can't send emails.
I tried it for giggles, nothing for me. I guess I'll have to wait to make those fart machines.

¿Click the cat to hear a purr?
¡¡HOLY FU***NG COW I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!
Got my invite as well. Give it a whirl tomorrow while I need to pass some time.
k, you know when you meet someone and your all like "text me your number o me"? well what about something like facebook has, where you will get a pop up saying so-and-so has added your number (person has same program) and then that person's added with email and everything done with one click
This post is awash with details.
Isn't that like the Bump app that never caught on?
I get you have the same app installed but how would the person find you in the first place?
I'm thinking the basic idea is that if a lot of people have it maybe you register your number so when they add it it lets you know and fills in extra info like email and stuff

After Google I/O 2013 there were so many great features about Google+ I wanted to use more often but hardly any of my friends use G+. I was wondering if any of you guys had it and want to add each other so we can all use the new G+ a little more often. Pretty much all of my posts/shares/likes/etc pertain to tech/Google/Android anyway.
I haven't done much on my profile since G+ came out way back when, but here it is if you want to add me, feel free to post on my page or share stuff: Syn Ack
Feel free to add your profile links here too and we can all add each other. I will put you in my HTC One circle.
I recommend going to http://gplus.to/ and then posting your link in that format.
Just post your link below and I will copy it to the list. Mine is gplus.to/Synacks

I find it fascinating that G+ has more users than Twitter but not a single friend of mine uses it. I've been trying to push it, but doesn't seem to be gaining much traction ):

I don't see where you added me, maybe I don't know enough about G+ yet. But it's certainly got a better layout and more features than Facebook.

I just added you to my Circles, I guess it's like "liking" a FB page, where you don't get friend requests, just that your posts get shared to those following. Probably, haven't really used it too
I have to admit I prefer G+ over all other social media sites. There is just not enough of a user base in my real life circles and the people who are on it don't have a clue how to use it.

Please rename thread to smth like: Google+ Hangout for HTC One users.
The way it is named atm, I have to move it to General section as it is not Device related.

@Syn Ack - maybe it would be a good idea to set this thread up like the Sensation g+ has been done.
This will make it easier for everyone to add others rather than having to look through loads of pages just to add people.
Using the short URLs, as mentioned in the other threads OP, would be a good idea aswell rather than post massive links
Here's a link to mine anyway - KidCarter93
For all people who use the shortening site, please put your nickname as your XDA username. It makes it easier for the rest of us that way

Good idea, I didn't know there were any other threads out there like this. Just put up all the names/links listed so far.
People who has downloaded the app used it have given good rating and feedback. But still downloads are not at all increasing.
All my request to app info sites for review has not been replied or they will ask for money
Looks like there is no scope for good developers with no budget

That's not true: if the app is worth it will be reviewed by some important site such as xda portal (for free) and will start getting a good amount of downloads. Of course you need to keep on promoting on the forums etc.
By the way, what's your application?

I can't find it. Maybe there is a problem with the distribution settings in the developer console?

I've had more success sharing my app on Reddit and tweaking the keywords in the description than with review sites myself.
I have also added a review prompt in the latest version which seems to be helping so far, fingers crossed.

Google Play has some free channel to help developers promote their apps, but that requires some downloads in some days or something like that.
So, you can try make cooperation with someone, and recommand your app via partner channel.
then you may have the chance of listing in Top New Free to Google Play. :laugh:

I think here XDA forum is also a place for hunting partners :lol
Getting some websites to review your app sure can be challenging. Those websites get hundreds of emails a day and it is hard to scan through all of them, but some of them might pick you up on the offer.
I personally posted on Reddit and it didn't get much attention...I might need to try it again, but maybe people didn't like the app...

Any recommendations for partener channels?

Sorry, what do you mean with "some downloads"? 10k? 100k? Thank you..
I believe that the best always rises to the top.You do not even need to market your app.It only takes a man to download your app and get the ball rolling.If your blog is interesting and useful,you don’t need to do much else.Example of this is the popularity of Instagram.

This only works for some very special cases; for the others, a bit of "push" is necessary.
To my mind, the quality of the app does evrything by itself.
We had the same problem after we have launched (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/good-weather/id601784766).
We found out that the best way is to approach our users who were engaged with the app.
We thought of a compelling way to ask them to rate us at the store /share the app with a friend/ tweet etc and it worked beyond our expectations...
Bottom line - when you ask someone who likes you nicely at the right time you are much more likely get respond.
We have since decided to develop it to a product which other developers can use - www.kudos-kit.com
Right now Reddit is a good way to promote your app, but best way is here in XDA.
Also, post it on forums allways can help a lot, since most of review sites are not free....

yes.. I should predict difficulties in reading with understanding.... OK, more simple version:
write the name of process in Googe.com (there is a search bar on the page), and then point your mouse on the button: "SEARCH", and pressright button on your mouse.
If you still would have difficulties in understanding, ask someone adult....

I see... have you tried to ask your parents about it? Maybe your primary school teacher would have 5 minutes to help you? No? so, maybe grandpa? Still no success?
OK, so, following the link I provided you, from the first search result, you will be redirected to this point.
Now, it will be difficult: how do you think: what can be the application, which full name is: APK Name: Samsung Billing ????
P.S. Good Lord, how I am missing the times when kiddos were given a Barbie or Lego when they were graduating from kindergarten...

ahh Thank you!
If you spoke to me like that I'd give you a swift kick up the arse.
Good Question.. I just Uninstalled it using Root Uninstaller and now i can't do any payment on installed apps, because it crashes and error pop-up saying theres no billing system
So in my thought I think that is the primary universal payment app for samsung phones.
