Update Your Web-Based Apps in Amazon Developer Console
Amazon Appstore has discontinued the Creator Service and the web-based app submission process. If you used both services to create apps for Fire TV and tablets, you can update your apps to a new version in Amazon Developer Console.
All apps have been converted to Android apps on Amazon Developer Console. You can update your apps by submitting a new Android package app, with the same package name and a higher version number.
To update your apps
- Log in to the Amazon Developer Console using your Amazon developer credentials.
- Open the App List page, and find the app you want to update.
- In the Current Version section, click the Upload your app file .
- Click the Manifest icon to display the Manifest Details prompt. You see your app's current package name and version number.
- In your project's
config.xmlfile, set the version andandroid-versionCodeattributes in the<widget>element to a new version number and version code that are higher than the current version.
The following code block is an example from the config.xml file, which indicates that a submitted app had version number 2.0.3 and version code 124.
<widget id="com.example.webapp" version="2.0.3" android-versionCode = "124"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
From the example, change the version number from 2.0.3 to to 2.0.4 and version code from 124 to 125, indicating a minor version upgrade.
