We’re continuing to provide developers with more opportunities to distribute their apps. Here are some updates we’d like to share:
Paid apps for Australia and New Zealand App Catalogs
Building on the recent addition of HP webOS App Catalogs for Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Hong Kong, we’re excited to announce that developers will be able to offer paid apps in the App Catalogs for Australia and New Zealand as well.
To make your paid app available in these countries, you will need to select the Australia and New Zealand App Catalogs and designate the price of your app in the My Apps tab. Read our help article for more details.
Submit TouchPad and smartphone apps in a single package
We have also implemented an update to our developer portal that lets you submit a smartphone app and TouchPad app as a single package to the App Catalog. Now developers can offer their apps across multiple webOS devices in a more seamless way. For more information, check out our help article.


I’ve had an app for Phones and Tablet waiting in Review status since the 11th of August. Please help it escape!
Nice!
Is there any chance that there will be paid apps in Italy? Otherwise will App catalog have no geo restrictions on the Pre 2/3, sooner or later?
P.S.: sorry for my English
Are TouchPads the only devices that can access the new Australian catalogue? My Pre still doesn’t have Australia in the list of Billing Countries. I’m guessing it’s because I imported it and there’s no support for Pre’s in Australia. Is that right?
Please release a chinese IME or api to let developer work on chinese IME/keyboard
thx
Hi Jive Turkey,
I’ve had about 10 apps appear in the App Catalogue on my Pre 2. I think we’ll slowly see the list grow as developers make them available in Australia.
Stu
So are paid apps open to Singapore and Hong Kong??? If not, then why not???
