Android runtime is not accepted ? I have 8 Android apps

[soaman]

Interesting. Air is excluded, too.

You should start porting them to Cascades or WebWorks.

I never researched other ways to develop for bb. Android seemed good to me, but I'll take a look at Cascades. Thanks @soaman

If i have to submit my app to BB Appworld, how can they know that I'm developing for this event ?

[alezy]

Good question. They look for time that application as submitted. Sometimes is necessary send mail for bb to say that submisson is for any offer, but i think they are recognizing this automatically now

[ptterb]

Yep, I've had good luck emailing with any questions I had
