Rules for Submissions Requiring Manual Review
-
Send us a link to a repository for your app to our telegram group along with some instructions on how to build it.
-
Give a short explanation why you can't publish the app without extra privileges. No need to go into details, a one liner like "needs
to run a daemon in the background" will do. List all the special features you have, if there are more.
-
If an application could be published without manual review if it wouldn't be for that one cool feature, publish a stripped down
version! Not everyone will want to install apps with less confinement.
-
Only open source applications allowed for manual review: As the applications might have arbitrary access to the device, every
manually reviewed app will get a source code review.
