Windows Phone application developers will have some difficulties submitting new software for approval in the official Marketplace in the next few days, Microsoft announced.
The App Hub will be down on Monday, April 6, a move planned all the way back in April. This means that developers should hurry and submit apps in the next few days, to make sure they land there.
“If you have an app you were hoping to update or publish to Marketplace this week, you should submit it today or tomorrow. While maintenance work is underway you may experience delays in app certification and publishing,” he explains.
“This effort also requires App Hub to be taken offline starting next Monday morning Pacific Time. I don’t have an exact downtime, but we expect it to be less than 24 hours.”
Microsoft will work hard on making sure that the developer portal is back online as soon as possible. However, app builders might meet some issues with it for a short period.
“Rest assured our teams will be working as quickly as possible to minimize the impact on you. Once the developer portal is back online, you might still encounter an occasional hiccup as we complete the back-end work over the next several weeks,” Todd Brix continues.
Following these enhancements brought to the App Hub, the entire submission and certification process of new Windows Phone applications is expected to become more robust.
Moreover, Microsoft will improve the developer experience by solving some of the issues that have been spotted with the portal lately.
“The good news is that this brief inconvenience will result in a more robust submission and certification pipeline for your Windows Phone 7.5 apps, and address many of the concerns you’ve shared over the months,” he concludes.
