Trouble For Microsoft Developers With the Windows Store

Posted by Unknown on from the if-it-works-for-apple dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This blog post from an un-happy Microsoft developer highlights many of the problems that developers are having with submitting to the new Windows store. His app, that won 2 App X challenges from Microsoft, has been rejected 6 times over 2 months with no clear indications as to the cause. This is even after going through a rigorous early-certification process. With Windows RT relying solely on apps from the store, and there being just over 7,000 apps total, Microsoft could have a big problem here."

    If by 80% you mean 90%, and by "never been downloaded", you mean "downloaded every month", you're spot on!
