On the developer portal, it appears that the Partner App submission is suspended currently.
Per comment I only saw " Note : We are currently going through an update to better support our partners. For that reason, we will not be accepting any applications for the Partner Apps Program at this time"
When will this be active again?
I know it says “After having a partnership with Samsung Health, download Samsung Health Android SDK and create your app.” But if my memory is correct you have to create your app before you can become a partner.
You can download the Samsung Health Android SDK and use it in developer mode without being a partner if that is what you want to do. Just click on the download and agree to the terms and conditions.
I don’t know when the application process will open again, just keep on watching it every week.

Is there any, at least rough, estimate of when is the Partner App Program going to be opened again? Our business decisions depend on it, so we would like to know, when could we expect it.

@r.liechty_SDP, is there any news on this? I would like my app to be able to read the user’s step count from Samsung Health without forcing them to install Google Fit, but it seems like this is not possible without registering as a partner app.
Also, according to the documentation, even to use it in “developer mode” we need an access code that we get “from the Samsung Health team”. Where do we get this access code? (see
https://developer.samsung.com/health/android/data/guide/dev-mode.html)
All I know is they have expedited how to get a developer access code but I have no time frame.

Hi,
Just wanted to ask any update on this?
Thank you so much in advance
I don’t have any update other than I know they are actively doing something.

Hi there - any updates on timeline for activating the Partner App Program?
Some If you submit a developer support request they will add you to a list of people to notify when it is again available.

Is there any news for register partner app?
I want to ask if you are dealing with redesigning the app. I have an app that is working only in my city. Here we have many students, so I decided to make an app for them that will help them find a home to rent faster. I found a company that deals with hospitality software development, and they, in a short time, developed an app where people could post their offers for students. That company made it five years ago, and it isn’t looking modern. I am going to make a redesign of it to make the experience of using this app better.
Nothing just register at Developer Support Request and they will notify developers if there is a change in status.

Hi - the Partner Apps program has been closed for a year or more now.
Is there any sense it will ever re-open? We’d very much like to integrate with Samsung Health.
Thanks.

HI Ben,
Open a developer support request and they will put you on a list of people to notify when it is open again.
