I've been looking for some detailed stats on the Nokia Store downloads / sales.

I found https://www.developer.nokia.com/Distribute/Statistics.xhtml

Which gives us the top 5 countries & top 5...

The problem is, people don't fail to download an app, try another app in the Ovi Store, see that they're all failing and try again later. They write a bad review about that specific app. If the Ovi...

That's a very nice speech, but what reasons are Nokia offering developers to change to Windows Phone?

There were reasons for Symbian developers to change to Qt. You could migrate your existing...

I think you're meant to submit the unsigned .sis file to Nokia when you're expecting them to sign it for you.

You should get paid monthly, but only once the payment amount has crossed a threshold level.

How much are you telling you app for?

No, you can have multiple "download items" (files) per "content item".

These download items can have distribution lists based on device / country / language.

A word of warning, make sure the...

The user will need to uninstall the application and then visit the Ovi Store in order to be able to re-download the app. If the app isn't uninstalled, then the user is only given the option to...

The 3 main reductions removed from the sales price are:

- tax (this varies dependent on the country)
- operator billing (this varies from network to network, but can be in excess of 50%)
-...

To update an app, unlock the download item (file) and edit the version number and upload the new file. Then re-lock the file in order to submit it for verification.

The new version will then go...

When you're on the publisher site, browse to the app (content item) that you're referring to. You'll end up at a URL something like this:

Yes, that's the correct way to do it.

v1.0 will stay in the Ovi Store while v2.0 goes through verification.

Adding in a second file with a different version number will cause the content item...

We have 2 versions of our Battery Extender application in the Ovi Store, one a 14-day trial available for free and the other the full paid for version.

I presumed the "related items" tab on either...

I was wondering if anyone knows how Ovi handles upgrades to paid for apps from the user's point of view?

Basically, if someone buys v1.1 of our application, and we then publish v1.2 to the Ovi...

The download count is carried forward to the next version, however you don't get a break down in the stats for downloads on a per version basis.

Yes you can use the same UID to achieve exactly what you described. We do with our Battery Extender (Trial) and Battery Extender (Full) applications.

We've had the same problems with having to go through QA when we changed our price, although we never actually disappeared from the store (which was our concern)

I think the problems with the Ovi...

I raised a similar question here:

Time expired trial versions - How to?

Ovi doesn't seem to support any form of license key generation.

So my understanding is you'll need a time expired free...

We are having a similar issue. We believe it was due to the fact that we had 2 content files with overlapping distributions:



This was due to my misunderstanding of how to upload an upgraded...

The app is still stuck in this status. It's been almost 3 working days now.

Currently we offer a 14 day trial of a software for free at which point it stops working and the user has to uninstall or purchase a license.

How are people planning on doing this using the Ovi...

Our app (Battery Extender) failed to appear on the Ovi Store when it launched on Tuesday.

We worked out it was because of:



We'd uploaded 2 content files (originally v1.06 and then an...
