Hello,

Can Kivy based apps be published to the Mac App Store?

Does anyone have experience publishing to the Mac App Store?

Thanks.

Hi

There is at least two applications on the itune app store
deflectouch, a free game (winner of the kivy contest):
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/deflectouch/id505729681?l=us&ls=1&mt=8

processcraft, a (more expensive) process design application
http://itunes.apple.com/app/id526377075

It's not an easy process, however, I've not been directly involved in
either upload, but I know you need to test on all the devices you
declare compatible with your app, because you can always have surprises,
(for example there was a few fixes with the retina screens, there is
probably to test with the ipad mini). But it's possible, as with any
framework, or native application, apple validation process is always
uncertain, both in time and result, but testing a lot, assuring yourself
your app doesn't block user interactions, doesn't have crashes, or
things like this, should remove most reasons for apple to refuse your
app.

That's great to know. 

What about apps for Mac OS X? Has anyone published apps in the Mac App Store?

than on ios, but i guess that's just waiting for someone to try :).
