I am facing a major problem in uploading android apps.
Actually, according to your new policy/t&c it’s that we have to request corporate commercial status and for that DUNS Number is required.
But unfortunately I don’t have any DUNS number as I am only 19 years and develop apps as an individual. I don’t have any team or a business so that I can register for a DUNS number . And I can’t have all the documents required for DUNS registration as I am only 19 years old.
I think they simply mean to get rid of hobbyists and want handle with business entities only. I dont know how is it in your country, but in many countries you are legally eligible to open your own business “company” at 18, same as getting the right to vote or being elected.
Yes I need a DUNS number. And as I am an individual I don’t have any business and I don’t have the/produce the documents to erect a business for an DUNS number.
Then what about the individual developers ? My account is 2 years old and I have uploaded 6 apps but now that all 6 apps are disabled unless i switch to corporate commercial status for which the DUNS number is required.
If I understand it right, they changed their store policy and do not want to deal with “individual developers” anymore. You either become a registered business entity, so you can apply for a DUNS number to be allowed to publish in the store, or maybe find already registered business entity willing to accept your work and become your “middleman”.
You are still allowed to make and push your custom watch faces or apps to your own watch or phone, but do not give them ideas, they might hide the tools (watch face studio and android studio) from public, like Samsung did with themes studio.
I’m sorry to hear that. Has Samsung only recently disabled your apps? I saw many developers whose apps were suspended as soon as this new policy was implemented over a year ago.
Hello, your request to convert the account to a commercial account has been rejected
They told me that I must write what I want to publish in the Samsung store
I don’t know what to write about this topic
