Publication of the (AppyBuilder) application in Mi Appstore (Xiaomi Appstore)

[Roman Demidov]

Hello! Does anyone have experience of publishing in Mi Appstore? My applications created in the appybuilder security check do not pass. The publication refused. There are instructions on publishing dev.mi.com 2. Like all the rules I keep. But as I understand it is necessary to add their SDK?

You would get a better response if you asked this question in the AppyBuilder forum.  This forum is for MIT App Inventor 2.  Someone might have an answer but why ask a question about AppyBuilder on an AI2  Forum when you are using the third party clone?

Regards,

Steve

I already wrote on the Appybuilder forum, I decided to write here. I forgot to fix it on Appinventor in the subject, so I understand the problem is one and the same. I wonder if anyone could publish ...

Unfortunately the problem is not one and the same.   AppyBuilder apps have different 'permissions' than AI2.   Depending on the AB tools you use, AI2 is NOT compatible with AB.  You should also discuss this with Xiaomi why they are refusing your App.  I suspect this may be an issue of permissions, the imminent requirements of  EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)             and security concerns or you may not have a Privacy Policy (Google Play has that restriction) and/or that the Appstore has a policy of only accepting apps from certain vendors.   We do not know, but you can find out.

Thank you very much for the answer!
Xiaomi for the reason indicated:
"Your app did not pass our review for the following reasons:
Security issue. Security software (tencent) detected that your app have a serious security risk. Apps that contain illegal (such as porn and personalities) elements in ads will be rejected. "

I wrote to them that my app does not contain illegal items (such as porn and personality) in ad. I asked for a more precise explanation of the reason, but I have not been answered yet.
I would like to know if someone could publish applications made in Appinventor in this market.
Sorry for bad English.

Congratulations.  You are making progress Roman.

Oh, your app has ads?    It appears Xiaomi is not comfortable with the way AppyBuilder provides ads. Your software contains what Xiaomi considers illegal item(s), probably because you use the ad provider that is in an AppyBuilder control.  We cannot help you with that. App Inventor apps do not have the tools to allow ads.  You will probably either have to remove your ads or get assistance 

from AppyBuilder to work out the issues with Xiaomi or post your app on Amazon or Google Play.   

Rewrite you app in App Inventor and try to publish it in Xiaomi... you can test whether they will accept an AI2 app  yourself   or you could remove your ad control and publish that way.  I expect that your app would publish without the use of the AppyBuilder ad tool...  or you might try recoding in Thunkable or another third party AI clone that is designed for building commercial apps.

Good luck.
