Developers experiencing issues with submitting apps and updates to the Store

Marketplace Dev Erro

It'southward another cryptic Microsoft error lawmaking...

Developers accept been experiencing issues when submitting .XAP files to the Marketplace for approval. Whether it be new apps or updates for already-submitted content, developers are getting hitting with an error lawmaking. Glenn Edwards, the brains and soul behind recently released MetroSpec, has also been having trouble getting his work published.

We last covered MetroSpec when it went live on the Market place a couple of days ago. The paid version got through, but the gratuitous, advertising-supported baby brother is nonetheless being held back. It'south an annoyance more than anything equally the Windows Phone community love their trials and free versions of apps that seek their hard-earned cash - and rightly so. If developers can't publish all their work, and then this could cost them valuable custom.

The case of MetroSpec is not a single problem. According to threads over on MSDN, a number of developers are experiencing the same (or similar) situations.

Funny Cat MS Server

Darn cats spoil everything...

Edwards got in affect with the support squad to run across if the event was on his cease, or whether Microsoft had some temporary faults. Here's a snippet of an email conversation between Edwards and a Windows Telephone Programmer representative:

"We are distressing to hear that you are still encountering difficulties with submitting your XAP. It appears that this is an effect that started over the weekend. Our engineers are aware of this issue and looking at a gear up. I volition follow upwards with you as we receive updates on this issue. We truly apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you."

Unfortunately, should yous be experiencing such issues, the simply thing i can do is wait until Microsoft solves what'southward causing havoc. Nosotros practice hope Microsoft acts quickly and gets this sorted as we're told this still isn't fixed for many content creators.

Thank you, Glenn, for the heads upwards and info!
