Back in Mid October Microsoft launched App Store. Like Apple’s iTunes connect or Google’s Android Developer Console, Windows Phone 7 has a centralized location called App Hub for developers to submit apps, manage account details, and request support .
The problem with the App hub is developers where not able to track the sales report. I have already discussed about the importance of collecting metrics if you are an app developer in this post.
Now that issue is resolved, App Hub gained a new “Reports” tab, wherein developers can generate sales reports based on any time frame since launch, drilled down to any country with access to the Windows Phone 7 market.
One more good news is Microsoft initially announced that they will not be able to pay developers until February, but yesterday they announced that they will be able to start sending out checks in January itself.
But unlike Android or iOS Microsoft lacks the appeal for developers to bring new apps to their platform and there are lot of issues with App Hub . Let us see how Microsoft resolves all the issues and build a cult around its new platform.
