The document describes Infraware's POLARIS App Generator (PAG) service, which automatically converts Android APK files into Tizen TPK files. This allows Android apps to be run on Tizen devices using Infraware's POLARIS App Player middleware. The service aims to quickly populate the Tizen app store in its early stages by migrating existing Android apps with minimal effort. It is expected to help grow the Tizen ecosystem by providing a rich app selection, attract more device users, and encourage more developer support for the new platform.

Background
■ The rich number of Applications is very important factor which makes the smartphone more
competitive.
The smartphone’s market share, applications and
developers are in direct proportion.
(More applications, more devices, then more developers.)

PAG Overview
■ The most effective way to migrate Android app to TIZEN.
■ Android APK is automatically converted (generated) to TIZEN TPK, which can be uploaded
to TIZEN store, downloaded into TIZEN device, and executed as same as TIZEN app.
■ PAG utilizes PAP (POLARIS® App Player) for playing apps, and PAV (POLARIS® App Verifier)
for verifying apps. (The introduction to the Products can be seen in Appendix)

Scenario for Developers View
■ Additional cost for publishing to TIZEN will NOT be expensive in point of view of both time
and human resource.
■ Developers who work in Android eco-system just do as they usually did. (programming,
testing, and debugging using Android Tools.)
