Developers who participate in the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program earn reputation. Developers earn points and advance in degrees of the Intel® Black Belt Software Developer Program. For more information on the reputation and Intel Black Belt Software Developer Program, see the Intel Black Belt Software Developer Program FAQs.

When you participate in the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program, you will earn reputation points. At this time, the only way to opt out of earning reputation points is to opt out of the developer program. If you wish to remove yourself from the program, please submit a request.

In-app upgrades are supported by the Intel AppUpTM SDK. If you offer a free version in the store and want users to upgrade to a paid version of your application, the paid version must be sold through the store.

In-app advertising, subscriptions, and links to external marketplaces for in-app purchases are permitted for a limited time. We understand that these features are important to you and are not yet available in the SDK. Until they become available, you are free to implement them on your own. As we roll these features into the SDK, we will then require that they be implemented through the SDK.

Yes, the SDK currently supports in-app purchasing for non-consumables like levels, for example. Watch this space for updates regarding more comprehensive in-app purchase features in future releases of the SDK.

Within the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program, users get an ID and a user account, but they do not receive payments. Organizations publish applications and components, and they receive payment. Thus, a developer must belong to an organization to get paid for their development efforts. The organization can be an individual or a formal company in a country that is part of the list of countries the Program can make payments to.

Look for the Join the Program button on any page. The Program will send you a confirmation email with an invitation code that you must enter as part of the registration process.

Yes. You can belong to any number of organizations. Payments for application sales and component Revenue Shares, however, are made to the organization publishing the product. You must join the Program to become a member of an organization.

The organization's administrator(s) assign a user role to each member. The Program user registering an organization becomes the organization's first administrator. There are four user roles: Administrator, Member, Financial, and Legal. The Member role can publish applications and components under the organization. The Financial role has Member privileges, plus can see financial information about the organization. The Legal role has Member privileges, plus can review and sign legal agreements. The Administrator role has all privileges.

You must be an organization administrator to change information. Log in to your account and click on My Dashboard in the upper-right corner. From the Current Organization drop-down button, select the organization you want to change. Use the My Dashboard drop-down button and select Organizations and change your settings. Click on Save Settings to save the new information.

Payments are made to an organization's PayPal* account.

All payments are made to organizations, so we need your organization information to pay you. Your organization can be a formal company, or simply you registering as an organization after getting an ID. The Program just needs payment information to be able to pay you for application and component Revenue Shares. If you only submit free applications and components, we still require organization details, because all applications and components are associated with an organization.

Yes. Click the Join the Program button and register yourself as an organization.

Yes, you are still required to create an organization to distribute free applications or components.

At this time, the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program supports all PCs and Ultrabook™ devices, as well as Windows* and MeeGo* netbooks based on the Intel® Atom™ processor.

MeeGo* native, Windows* native, HTML5. We also have SDKs available in C, C++, Java*, .NET and Adobe Air*.

No. Part of your reputation depends on how well your applications and components perform and run. You should thoroughly test your applications and components before submitting them for validation. The Intel AppUp(SM) developer program validates certain aspects of your application for suitability to the program, completeness, and legal requirements. Validation does not debug or regression-test your code.

A component is a building block application developers can use in their code to accelerate their development. Components might include location services, voice recognition, wireless communications, processing algorithms, and many more. Currently the program accepts components for netbooks only.

Get an ID and join the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program. Download the developer tools, request a GUID, and create your component. Review the checklists to help ensure a successful component validation. Then, on your Home page, click Submit a Component and follow the steps. See How to Submit an Application.

Currently, when a developer submits an application, he or she will list it in their submission forms. In the future, when consumers purchase applications containing your components, the store recognizes your component, and you receive payment (for commercial applications and components) according to your agreed upon revenue share.

We automatically create a forum thread for your component for support. You can find the URL for the forum in the component product details. Subscribe to the forum thread to follow all the community conversations related to your component. The link below is the primary resource page for component development.

http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/componentcatalog

Join the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program. Download the developer tools, and create your application. Review the Application Readiness and Application Submission checklists to help ensure a successful application validation. Then, on your Home page, click Submit an Application and follow the steps.

If you use components, they must be free components. You must join the Program, but you do not need to have a PayPal* account for payments. See the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program Application/Component Suitability and Validation Guidelines for details about requirements.

You must join the Program and provide a PayPal* account for payments. See the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program Application/Component Suitability and Validation Guidelines for details about requirements.

Yes. Log in to your account, go to My Dashboard select the organization the application or component is published under from the Current Organization drop-down menu, and select Applications or Components from the My Dashboard drop-down menu. Expand the desired application or component and click the Actions button next to the name of the desired application or component. If you submitted the application or component for validation and the validation process has not started, remove it from validation and then edit it. If validation has already started, you have to wait until it completes. If you have not submitted it for validation, you can edit it.

Yes, you can remove it from the validation queue after you submit it if validation has not yet started. Log in to your account, go to My Dashboard, select the organization the application or component is published under from the Current Organization drop-down menu, and select Applications or Components from the My Dashboard drop-down menu. Expand the desired item, click the action button next to the name of the desired application or component, and remove it.

A GUID is a global unique identifier. The Intel AppUp(SM) developer program website generates a GUID for each component and application, which you must include in your code if you are integrating the SDK. Wherever you see a Get a GUID or Generate a GUID button, you can request a GUID for your application or component.

The GUID uniquely identifies your component or application across the population of all applications and components. It is used to track purchases, among other tasks.

Obtain a GUID for your application or component as early as possible. Each GUID is associated with a unique name. If you want to ensure you get the name you desire, get your GUID early. Prepare several names to choose from, in case your first choice is not available.

After submitting your component or application, the validation process checks your code for suitability for the developer program, licensing and legal issues, and some basic functionality. To help ensure validation success, download a validation checklist for components or applications. Your component or application must pass validation before it can be published. For more information, see the Component Validation Checklist or Application Validation Checklist.

Yes. We encourage both component and application development. New, interesting, and easy-to-integrate components accelerate application development and introduce new, innovative usages for netbooks. And, with revenue sharing, you can earn revenue by developing components alone or in addition to applications. You earn revenue from both.

You can distribute nearly any type of application content. For a list of unacceptable content, see the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program Developer's Guide. The Intel AppUp™ SDK is now available for download. To take full advantage of revenue-generating opportunities, you must use the Intel AppUp SDK. Intel AppUp developer program engineers will then validate submitted items.

See the application submission guidelines for the types of content that are acceptable.

You should choose a content rating that best describes the type of content your application may contain. The rating guidelines (shown below) help users understand the type(s) of content included in the applications they are buying.

Please check review the validation guidelines to get full details:
http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/article/validation-guidelines

Yes, open source applications and components can be submitted.

Validation time will vary with the complexity of your application and number of applications in the queue at the time of submission. During validation, you can view validation status by checking Applications or Components in My Dashboard. Always be sure to select your organization from the Current Organization drop-down menu in your Dashboard.

Tizen* is the evolution of the MeeGo* operating system. Intel AppUp™ SDK Suite for MeeGo is still running. With new changes, we highly recommend visiting the MeeGo page to see new updates to both Tizen and MeeGo.

The Intel AppUp(SM) developer program currently supports MeeGo*. The Intel AppUp™ SDK Suite for MeeGo is available today. To download and find more information, visit our MeeGo portal.

The specifics of the Intel AppUp™ SDK do not differ based on operating system. The features and functions of the SDK for MeeGo* are the same as the SDK for Windows* or Tizen*.

The validation process is consistent regardless of software platform. The validation process will not be different for applications on MeeGo* versus Windows*.

No. Windows* users will be able to download and use applications validated for the Intel AppUp(SM) center on Windows, and Tizen*/MeeGo* users will be able to download and use applications validated for the Intel AppUp center on MeeGo.

The Intel AppUp™ Software Development Kit (Intel AppUp™ SDK) will link your application into the App Store. The Intel AppUp SDK is now available. You can submit applications and components to the program to be among the first developers to take full advantage of revenue-generating opportunities.

The Intel AppUp™ SDK gives you the libraries and tools to link your application to the Intel AppUp(SM) center runtime client on a customer's netbook. You must incorporate these in your application in order for your application to be validated.

No, the SDK is now optional. It is no longer required to integrate the SDK into your app if you want to publish it in the Intel AppUp(SM) center. However, there are huge benefits such as the digital rights management, crash reporting, and integration with Intel AppUp™ SDK API services such as in-app upgrades.

The Intel AppUp™ SDK is now available. You can submit applications and components to the program to be among the first developers to take full advantage of revenue-generating opportunities.

Yes. Get an ID and opt in to the developer-related communication.

• Developers will set the price for their applications, and receive up to 70 percent of the revenue from every sale from every store. The remaining portion covers Infrastructure operational expenses and partner revenue.
• Developers can choose to use some of their revenue in exchange for things like promotion
• Developers can also build and sell application components the Developer Store in exchange for a percentage of the revenue from every application sold that uses their component.

For a limited time, you can join the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program for free.

To compensate component developers, you pay a share of the price of your application to the component developer. This is called a Revenue Share. The component developer sets the Revenue Share percentage and indicates if the component can be used in free applications. For example, if the component developer offers a component for 12 percent, when a customer purchases your application, the store deducts 12 percent of your share from your revenue and pays the component publisher. If the component developer allows the component to be used in free applications, you will not be charged for using the component if you make your application free. We recommend you contact the component developer through the Component Catalog. The Program processes all payments and pays the component developer and you automatically.

When building your application with components, be sure their Revenue Share does not exceed 100 percent. The Intel AppUp developer program website does not allow this condition.

Yes, you can negotiate with a component developer for a different Revenue Share from what the component developer publishes.

Some components are free. Others you pay for through a revenue-sharing agreement.

The component publisher sets the price of a component as a share of your price, called a Revenue Share. As the Program collects payment for an application, it automatically deducts the Revenue Share of all components used by your application and pays the component developers for their components.

The Program automatically processes payment to the component publisher when a customer purchases one of your applications containing components that are not free. You do not have to handle payments.

Yes. We encourage component development to accelerate application development and deployment. As a component developer, you set the percentage of the application price you charge for using your component. This is called a Revenue Share.

Yes. There are free components and components for which there is a charge. See the Component Catalog for free and purchased components.

No. The cost of validation is covered by the yearly program fee and the Program's share of application sales.

Yes. You can distribute free applications and free components. You set the price of your efforts.

No. We can pay developers in the following countries: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, People's Republic of China, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Venezuela and Vietnam. We are working to expand this list in the future.

In Asia/Pacific, the countries are Australia, New Zealand, India, Philippines and Singapore. In Europe the countries are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. In North America the countries are Canada and the United States.

If an application is in the validation queue, you can edit it through My Dashboard until validation begins. If validation for an application has already begun, you must wait to edit country information until the process is completed and the validation engineer has rejected or approved the application. For existing approved applications, you can add these new countries through "My Dashboard" at the Intel AppUp(SM) developer program website.

The validation process is a one-time process only. Applications that have already been validated or are available via the Intel AppUp(SM) center do not need to be revalidated.

• The Component Catalog lists components available to help accelerate your development and to implement useful and innovative functionality. Each component includes its own API and documentation.
• When a developer uses your component in an application, you can receive a portion of their application revenue. The amount of the revenue-sharing agreement is negotiated between the component and application developers.
• Having a catalog of reusable components can help speed up application development and provide component developers with a way to make money.

Click on the Catalog button on your Home page and view and download components you are interested in. The Component Catalog lists the price of the component as a portion of your application price, called a Revenue Share.

http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/componentcatalog

Each component includes its own API and documentation. Download the component and review the documentation. When you are ready to submit your application, you will list the components you use in one of the steps of the submission process.

You don't have to manage payments to component publishers. The component publisher sets the price of the components as a portion of your price, called a Revenue Share. If you use a component in your application, the Program automatically pays the component publisher out of your revenue as users purchase your application. See What is Revenue Share?
