This guide explains how to distribute a registered TV application.
All ready applications can be released on Samsung Apps TV. If you request a release, it will be released after reviewing and testing by Samsung.
Before you officially launch an application, you can first distribute the beta to end users to receive usability assessments for new features and conduct beta tests to identify problems.
In particular, partner sellers can distribute the alpha version that is being tested while developing an application to the developer's TV to download/install it in real environments and test it to see if it works as intended.
Publishing Applications to Samsung Apps TV
When all the application information required for launching the service is registered, the application becomes available for distribution to Samsung Apps TV.
After the application is released, you may continue to release upgraded versions with added features or fixed defects.
The application that has been requested to be released is reviewed by Samsung and tested for verification, and it may be rejected during the process. If a defect is found in the application during the verification process, it may not be released. These issues are reported through the "Applications > Defect Resolve" menu, and you, the seller, must resolve the issues and resubmit the application.
If the application passes Samsung's verification test, the application service will start in the specified Smart TV model group and service country.
Note
After the application information is fully entered, you can request an application release.
A new version cannot be released while the application service is stopped. If it is suspended, resume the service first.
Requesting New Release
To release the application to the TV App Store, click the "Request New Release" button on the "Applications > Distribute" page.
When the launch request page is provided, first select the application version you want to launch.
If the version you want to release is not listed, click the "Upload App" button to upload the application package file first.
NoteYou cannot submit a version submitted for a beta or alpha test as a release version. We plan on supporting so that it can be possible later.
Select the Smart TV model group to release the application version. A list of model groups suitable for the architecture of the app package is provided and you can choose from them.
You should know the following points when selecting model groups.
For a Tizen .NET application, the service can be released for TV model groups for 2018 and later.
Model groups that are still undergoing certification and verification processes for a previously submitted application version cannot be selected. To do so, you must first cancel the ongoing verification and certification processes. For more information, see the To Cancel Release Request guide.
Model groups with defects cannot be selected until all the defects have been addressed. For more information, see the Resolving Defects guide.
Model groups that have a previously submitted version with a number higher than the version you intend to release cannot be selected.
You cannot select a model group for which the version you want to release has already been submitted.
You cannot submit to a model group lower than the API version of the application package.
If the application has the Samsung Checkout payment function applied, it cannot be submitted to a model group that does not support Samsung Checkout.
In order to release an application to a model group subject to FCC regulations, Caption and TTS functions must be supported. Applications that do not support Caption or TTS functions cannot be submitted to model groups subject to FCC regulations. For more information, see the Entering Application Feature Information guide.
Prior consultation is required to release apps using cloud game mode on TVs under 2021. If necessary, contact the Samsung content manager.
When a new application version is released for a model group that is undergoing compatibility testing with new Smart TV devices, the compatibility test conducted by Samsung is stopped and you have to meet the new specifications yourself. If you would like to submit a version with a resolving compatibility issue, you can submit it through the Compatibility menu after receiving a report of the compatibility defect from Samsung. For more information, see the Submitting Compatibility Version guide.
ImportantIf you intend that previous application versions lose functionality after the new version is published, you must inform us through 1:1 Q&A in the Seller Office portal, so we can check that all model groups supported by previous versions are supported by the new version.
Enter the information needed to release the version. New features of the version, whether it needs to be updated, what Samsung's verifiers need to know, whether release version with minor defects, etc
NoteYou can select the version first and then enter the release information.
What's new in this version
This description is exposed to the application details screen on Samsung Apps TV, with application description. Please enter a summary of the changes made in this version so that users can check for changes in the new version and run updates.
As in the application description, you must enter updates for each language so that you can check the contents according to the TV user's language selection.
If it's a version that's already been released, you don't need to enter it. It's provided exactly as it was when it was released.
Is mandatory update required for this version?
Select whether the application must be updated to a new version.
Selecting "Mandatory" option enforces user to update. If the user refuses to update; the user will not be able to run the application. There will be a popup notification, and this will contain information that you provided in the "What's New in this version." Make sure to fully explain why the app update is needed, and choose this "Mandatory" option only when necessary (such as when there are significant problems when the application is not updated).
If it's a version that's already been released, you don't need to select it. It's applied as it was when it was released.
Mandatory updateWhen a new version is released, TV users will be informed that the version has been updated when they run the application
If a version with the "Mandatory Update" attribute is released, TV users can read the update description seller wrote and then choose "Update Now" to proceed with the update or choose "Cancel" to reject the update. If TV users refuse to update a version with the "Mandatory update" property, they will not be able to run the application.
However, the actual application of "Mandatory update" may only take place in some countries, depending on country-specific regulatory policies.
Optional updateIf a version with the "Optional update" attribute is released, TV users can choose "Update Now" to proceed with the update or choose "Later" to reject the update. Even if TV users refuse to update a version with the "Optional update" property, they can still run the application and use it.
If a user checks "Don't ask again for this version", the update notification for this version will no longer appear to that user.
Note for tester
This note will be delivered to the Samsung's verifier. Enter what you want the verifier to consider during testing.
Agree to release your application with minor defects?
If you agree to this, even if a defect is found in the application during the certification/verification processes, Samsung may release it without confirmation from the seller if it is a minor defect. Samsung does not release applications with serious defects.
ImportantYou, the application development company, are responsible for the accuracy of the description of changes, and the consideration of regulations in each country in terms expression. Also you are responsible for responding to complaints or inquiries from consumers.
If you enter all the information and click the "Next" button, a pre-test for the application information and the selected model group will be executed, and if there is a problem that prevents the application from being submitted, you will be notified.
The application title written in the default language and the application title specified in the configuration file of the application package must be identical. For more information, see the Entering Application Title and Description guide.
If the Samsung Checkout payment function is applied to the application, the related privilege API must be defined in the application package configuration file, and account information must be registered in the DPI system along with a record of testing in-app purchases at least once in a DPI sandbox environment. For more information, see the Entering Billing Information guide.
If the in-app AD feature is applied to the application, the related privilege API must be defined in the application package configuration file. For more information, see the In-app AD Information guide.
The "Built in app" property cannot be changed once it is set, and a new App ID must be created to change it. If you have not clearly identified the properties, please consult with the App Working Group(appwg.vd@samsung.com) and then submit the application.
If the pre-test fails, the application cannot be submitted. In such cases, review and fix the issues found before proceeding with the launch request again.
After the pre-test is passed, click the "Done" button to complete the release request, which changes the status of the version and model group to 'Submitted'.
In the "Distribute > App Service" list, you can check the submitted application version and certification/verification statuses.
Certification from Samsung and Verification Test
Samsung reviews and verifies the application requested for release and notifies you, the seller, of the result.
The application may be rejected during the review process, and if a flaw is found in the application during the verification process, it may not be released. In this case, you need to resolve the problem and resubmit the application.
After passing Samsung's verification test, the application service is launched in the Smart TV model group in the service country.
The time required to certify and publish your application depends on tester availability and the number of certification rounds needed to resolve defects. Because there are many applications to be tested, it can take some time to certify your applications. To reduce the number of possible defects, test the application comprehensively before submitting it.
To Cancel Release Request
You can cancel a release request before an application version is released.
The release request can be canceled for each model group, and the certification and verification processes are immediately stopped without Samsung's approval process being finished.
NoteAfter a service has been released, you can no longer cancel the release and instead need to stop the service.
The QA status for each model group is displayed in the "Distribute > App Service" list. You can use the "Drop" button provided for a model group and version that is in the Submitting, Testing, or Waiting Launch status.
Enter the reason for the cancelation in the pop-up provided, and click "Done". The release request is canceled immediately and the status of the corresponding version/model group is changed to 'Dropped'.
Status by Model Group after Version Submission
You can find a list of all versions requested for release and all information about the certification/verification status by model group in the "Distribute > App Service" list.
Submitted and Testing
The model group requested to release the application will be in a 'Submitted' state and Samsung will start reviewing the application. When the basic review is completed and the verification test on the model group begins, it will be in the 'Testing' state.
Rejected and Fail
If a problem is found during the basic review phase, the verification test for the model group is rejected and the model group status for the application version is displayed as 'Rejected'.
If a defect in the application is found during the verification test stage in the model group and it is determined to be a verification failure, the model group status for the application version is displayed as 'Fail'.
Waiting Launch and Launched
If the application has passed the verification test and is ready for release, it will be displayed as 'Waiting Launch'. Afterwards, if successfully released on TV, it will be in the 'Launched' state.
Dropped
The application has been requested to release and then has been canceled.
You can request a re-release with the upgraded version or with the canceled version.
History of Version Update Description
You can browse the history of update description that you created when you released the version. Select the "Update History" option from the "Distribute > App Service" menu.
Content written in the default language appears preferred, and you can click the "More" button to view everything written in each language.
NoteThis content can be created and modified when a version is requested to be released, and cannot be modified once it has been released on the TV in any model group.
You can easily check whether a version has been released by selecting the "App Version" option.
Proceeding to Beta Test
Before you officially launch an application, you can first distribute the beta to end users to receive usability assessments for new features and conduct beta tests to identify problems.
It is also possible to conduct beta tests in different versions depending on the model group.
After registering the beta test information, the beta test is ready when it is approved by Samsung Content Manager. Since the beta version is distributed without going through Samsung's precise verification test, it is recommended that the application be fully verified and distributed within the development company.
As closed beta testing is a principle, the beta version can only be installed on TVs that are certified with an activation code. When the beta test is ready, you can download the activation code from the TV Seller Office and distribute it to the beta tester.
The beta tester uses the hidden key of the TV remote to open the beta test activation code input window and enter the code assigned to authenticate. When the beta installation screen appears on a certified TV, you can check and agree to the precautions before installing the beta.
ImportantThe use of Beta Test service is done at your own discretion and risk and with agreement that you will be solely responsible for any damage to your device or loss of data that results from such activities. Samsung will not be liable for any damages that result from your use of the service.
Creating Beta Test
To start a new beta test, click the "Create Beta Test" button on the "Applications > Distribute" page or the "Applications > Distribute > Beta Test" page.
Note
The application information except 'Verification Info' must be fully entered before beta testing can begin.
Beta testing cannot be performed while the application service is stopped. If it is suspended, resume the service first.
When the "Create Beta Test" page is available, first select the version you want to beta test.
You can choose from a version that has not yet been released on TV or has not been requested to be released. Or you can beta test again with a version that has been beta-tested.
Select the Smart TV model group that will conduct the beta test. A list of model groups suitable for the architecture of the app package is provided and you can choose from them.
You cannot select a model group that is already in beta testing with another version or that is waiting.
You should know the following points when selecting model groups.
Model groups that have a previously submitted version with a number higher than the version you intend to release cannot be selected.
You cannot select a model group for which the version you want to release has already been released.
You cannot submit to a model group lower than the API version of the application package.
If the application has the Samsung Checkout payment function applied, it cannot be submitted to a model group that does not support Samsung Checkout.
In order to release an application to a model group subject to FCC regulations, Caption and TTS functions must be supported. Applications that do not support Caption or TTS functions cannot be submitted to model groups subject to FCC regulations. For more information, see the Entering Application Feature Information guide.
Please enter the beta test period. Test start and end dates can be set up to a maximum of 90 days.
The beta version can only be installed on TVs certified with the activation code. Please enter the information for issuing the activation code.
Enter a unique 5-digit alphabetic character for use as a prefix in the activation code. Prefixes already in use by other tests or other applications are not available.
And if you enter an approximate number of testers, you can get an activation code for that amount.
Write user precautions about installing beta and participating in beta testing. What you have written is provided on the beta installation screen of user's TV.
We recommend that you write it by languages so that user can view precaution written in that language depending on the language settings on user's TV.
Adding languages, entering precautions for each language, and setting the default language is similar to entering 'Title/Description on TV' information.
If there is no precaution written in the language of user's TV, the precaution written in the default language will be provided to user.
When you enter all the information and click the "Next" button, the pretest runs with the model groups and the information of the application that will perform the beta test.
If there is a problem that cannot be submitted, it will be displayed immediately.
After passing the pretest, click the "Done" button to complete the beta test request.
The requested beta test will be placed in the 'Beta Test under Approval' state for approval by Samsung Content Manager.
In the "Applications > Distribute > Beta Test" list, you can see the information and progress of the created beta test.
Beta Test Status
The beta test has five progress states.
Beta Test under Approval
The beta test you requested is in the process of obtaining approval.
When you create a beta test, it is first placed in the 'Beta Test under Approval' state for approval from Samsung Content Manager.
Beta Test Waiting
The beta test has been approved and the test has not yet begun. The beta test will automatically open at the start date of the test.
Beta Testing
The beta test has been opened and is in progress. During the test period, the beta tester may participate in the test.
Beta Test Closed
The beta test has ended.
Beta Test Returned
The beta test you requested has been rejected at the approval stage. The reason was sent by email.
Beta Test Activation Codes
Once the beta test you have created has been approved, the activation code required to proceed with the beta test will be issued. The beta version can only be installed on TVs certified with the activation code.
Download the issued code from the TV Seller Office and distribute it to the beta tester so that they can participate in the beta test. Activation codes are provided in the form of csv text files.
In the "Applications > Distribute > Beta Test" list, the Beta Test in the ‘Beta Test Waiting’ or ‘Beta Testing’ status provides the "Activation Code" button. Click the button to display the "Activation Code Status" page, which provides a list of activation codes for the corresponding beta test.
Click the "Download the activation code issued" link here to download a list of activation codes.
Activation codes are distinguished from each other by using a unique prefix for each beta test, and one activation code is used as a one-time when user activates the corresponding beta test. Once the tester has been certified by the TV with the activation code and has completed the beta installation, the code is treated as used and cannot be used again.
You can check also whether the activation code has been used on this "Activation Code Status" page.
If you need more activation codes, you can get up to 100,000 more. To obtain additional activation codes, click the "Activation codes can be issued additionally" link when the beta test is in the 'Beta Test Waiting' or 'Beta Testing' state.
If you enter an additional quantity to issue and click the "Done" button, that quantity of activation code will be added to the list.
Click the "Download the activation code issued" link on the "Activation Code Status" page to re-download all activation code lists, including the additional quantity.

Proceeding to Alpha Test
As you develop your application, you can distribute the alpha version that you are testing to a specific TV to download/install it in real environments and test it to see if it works as intended.
This differs from a beta test, which is distributed to the actual users, and this alpha testing service is exclusively available to partner sellers.
You can run tests on 50 TVs for up to 30 days at a time, and by simply setting the application version and test information, you can proceed with the alpha test immediately without a separate approval process.
Note
The basic service information of the application must be entered before alpha testing can begin.
Alpha testing cannot be performed while the application service is stopped. If it is suspended, resume the service first.
Creating Alpha Test
To start a new alpha test, click the "Create Alpha Test" button on the "Applications > Distribute" page.
NoteYou cannot create a new alpha test while another alpha test is already in progress. You can only run one alpha test at a time.

To Stop Alpha Test
You can immediately end an alpha test in progress.
If you click the "Close Alpha Test" button on the "Applications > Distribute > Alpha Test" page, the test is terminated immediately and the status of the version being tested is changed to 'Alpha Test Closed'.
You can also end the alpha test prematurely using the "Edit" button to change the test end date.
Submitting Compatibility Version
Whenever a new Smart TV model is released, Samsung conducts its own compatibility test so that applications that are supported by the existing model can be supported by the new one as well.
This process takes place before the new model group is released to the TV Seller Office, and compatibility issues that need to be fixed before launching the application on the new model are reported to the seller. These issues can be viewed in the "Applications > Compatibility Defect" menu, and in order for the application to be eligible to be released on the new model, the seller must submit a version that fixes them.
Samsung goes through this process and releases only applications that contain no serious flaws on the new model.
To submit an application version that resolves a compatibility issue, click the "Submit Compatibility Version" button on the "Applications > Distribute" page.
NoteYou cannot submit a new version while the application service is stopped. If the service has been suspended, resume it first.
When the page for submitting a compatibility version is provided, first select the version of the application to submit.
If the version you want to submit is not listed, click the "Upload App" button to upload the application package file first.
NoteYou cannot submit a version submitted for a beta or alpha test as a release version. We plan on supporting so that it can be possible later.
Select the Smart TV model group to release the application version. A list of model groups suitable for the architecture of the app package is provided and you can choose from them.
You should know the following points when selecting model groups.
Model groups with defects cannot be selected before all compatibility flaws have been fixed. For more information, see the Resolving Compatibility Defect guide.
Model groups that have a previously submitted version with a number higher than the version you intend to release cannot be selected.
You cannot select a model group for which the version you want to release has already been released.
You cannot submit to a model group lower than the API version of the application package.
If the application has the Samsung Checkout payment function applied, it cannot be submitted to a model group that does not support Samsung Checkout.
In order to release an application to a model group subject to FCC regulations, Caption and TTS functions must be supported. Applications that do not support Caption or TTS functions cannot be submitted to model groups subject to FCC regulations. For more information, see the Entering Application Feature Information guide.
If you click the "Next" button after selecting the version and model group, the application information and pre-test for the selected model group will be executed, and if there is a problem that prevents the application from being submitted, you will be notified.
The application title written in the default language and the application title specified in the configuration file of the application package must be identical. For more information, see the Entering Application Title and Description guide.
If the Samsung Checkout payment function is applied to the application, the related privilege API must be defined in the application package configuration file, and account information must be registered in the DPI system along with a record of testing in-app purchases at least once in a DPI sandbox environment. For more information, see the Entering Billing Information guide.
If the in-app AD feature is applied to the application, the related privilege API must be defined in the application package configuration file. For more information, see the In-app AD Information guide.
The "Built in app" property cannot be changed once it is set, and a new App ID must be created to change it. If you have not clearly identified the properties, please consult with the App Working Group(appwg.vd@samsung.com) and then submit the application.
If the pre-test fails, the application cannot be submitted. In such cases, review and fix the issues found before proceeding with the launch request again.
