The recent updates to Samsung Apps have made the process of uploading an app far more convenient. Based on features detected in the app, a list of compatible devices is automatically recommended and the app can be registered to all of these devices at once. The overall process of app submission could be found at the ‘Seller Guide‘.1) Before the updateBefore the recent update, developers were required to know the ‘Device Group’ their app would belong to. The ‘Device Group is a set of devices, each sharing a common feature, including the device resolution and API level required for use of the app.2) Process improvementsNow, when an app is uploaded, just letting Samsung Apps know the features of the app is enough to activate the Device Filtering mechanism, which will find and recommend the right devices for the app.

For example, if a developer wishes to submit their app using the new process, all that’s required is to submit the app to Samsung Apps, checking the appropriate features required. The Device Filtering mechanism will ensure that Samsung Apps will distribute the app to the right destination.
