Amazon APP Rejections

phamtastic

I keep getting two failures with Amazon when submitting my app. Is there a work around for these or I'm SOL?

Issue #1 (All mobile devices) : App should resume from where it was left

Observation:- Others :
Steps to reproduce error:
1. Install and launch the app.
2. Tap on "Play" icon.
3. Play for 2 min.
4. Tap on device back button, app exits.
5. Relaunch the app.
Actual result: App starts from beginning.
Expected result: App should resume from where it was left.

Issue #2 (Fire TV only): Ensure that the app stops playing audio once the device begins displaying a screen saver (day dream) or enters standby mode. Note that if your app uses a framework such as Unity/Corona/Gideros, you may ignore this requirement, as apps built on Unity3D/Corona/Gideros do not receive DreamService intents.

Did they mention what the test device was for 'Android' other than Kindle fire? Because they did test some of my games on a .....BLACKBERRY! Is it any wonder it wasn't working properly lol

@jigglybean - for the first issue (RESUME), it failed on many devices:

• Fire HD
• Fire Kindle
• Samsungs
• BlackBerry

We just released the 0.13.7 RC build that should fix both of your issues please try it out.

I just got he same rejection error. Did 13.7 do the trick? And did you have to do anything else besides publish from the new GS?

Yes 13.7 fixed the issue for Fire TV
You'll need to have a rule

If Hibernate is TRUE then Pause Music & Pause Game

Else Resume Music and Resume Game

I can't find "hibernate" anywhere. Is it under "device" somewhere?

phamtastic

It is not an "ATTRIBUTE"
It is under RULE for "Action Receives Event" at the very bottom of the drop down menu.

Thanks so much!
