In another thread @r.liechty_SDR mentioned that from August the Store will no longer support Tizen based apps. And that no Tizen based submissions are being accepted.
Does this mean the original Galaxy Watch will no longer have any type of store? I mostly develop for my Galaxy Watch, and was hoping to release more apps/games.
The Galaxy Store for Watches will still be in existence for users with older Samsung Smart Watches.
This was sent to all registered watch face sellers in a letter.
On February 8, 2023, you will no longer be able to register new Tizen-based watchface apps in Seller Portal.
It is not clear to me if this includes Tizen Apps that are not watch faces, you will know if you try to add one.
We are suggesting that all developers both apps and watchface apps transition to Wear OS and publish on Play Store.

Thanks.
I don’t sell watch faces, but I could easily just have missed the message.
I was considering moving to WearOS, so I may as well do it now!
The seller promotions have gone away they just have computer generated promotions and I don’t see any “New” category for Watch apps.
