Android migration – Playtika apps
• Migrating a running Google Play Android app to Amazon was fairly in easy
task, which required relatively low development costs
• The primary difference from generic Android was the need to integrate
Amazon in-app purchase SDK, which was not complicated at all
• The fact that there is a finite number of devices means you can actually
know which devices your app is running on, opposed to generic Android
with myriad of devices with varying form factors and capabilities
Bottom Line?
1) We are very happy with Amazon. We would love more scale (please)
2) You should be on Amazon if you’re not already there.
3) THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
