The Kindle Fire will not be hitting the market until November, but Amazon has already updated its Developer Portal FAQ page with a complete section dedicated to its forthcoming Android tablet. At the new page, you will see largely standard information on such things as the appliance process and the way to establish an Android SDK emulator, though there are a couple of more salient tidbits, besides. For example, Amazon says it should review every app in its Appstore for Fire compatibility, as portion of an automatic process. Rejected apps, Amazon informs us, will include those who depend upon a gyroscope, camera, WAN module, Bluetooth, microphone, GPS, or micro SD. Apps also are forbidden from using Google’s Mobile Services (and in-app billing), which, if included, must be “gracefully” removed. When it comes to actual content, Amazon has outlawed all apps that adjust the tablet’s UI in any respect (including theme- or wallpaper-based tools), in addition to any that demand root access (it continues to be seen how the corporate will treat the basis-dependent apps already in its store). Interested devs can find additional info on the source link, below.
