• Start content publishing by going
through the checklist. Trust us, this will
make your content more popular and
speed up publishing your content!

5. Step 3. Checking your content
Consider and prepare these items carefully before you start
submitting your content:
1. A name and description for the content. A descriptive name and a good
description ensure good visibility and searchability for your content
2. Add other keywords to the default keywords field to allow consumers to find
your content through Nokia Store searches. Add translated keywords in the
same field.
3. Define the price of the content from free to one of 15 preset price points.
– Nokia has set the global price points according to the local buying power.
This makes distributing applications globally easy.
– Note: Refer to the billing matrix for more details.
4. In case you use In app purchasing, check the following page:
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Distribute/In-app_purchasing/
(IAP can also be added afterwards)

6. Step 3. Checking your content
5. Select phones or phone families to which the content can be
downloaded.
To compare the features in different Nokia phones, see the Device
Specifications .
– Make the coverage of the latest product families as wide as possible. You
can also prepare different versions for different devices.
6. The language and countries your content supports.
– A global English version and separate country specific versions often help to
reach maximum end user coverage
– Note: Refer to the Language-region mapping to check to which countries
you can submit what non-English content
7. An email address for customer support and questions about the
content. Website is not mandatory, but helpful.

7. Step 3. Checking your content
8. You need the following icons and screenshots for Nokia Store:
– An icon representing the content in size 256x256.
– One to three screenshots from the content (for Nokia Asha platform up to five
screenshots).
– The size for square screenshot for S40 content older than Nokia Asha platform
product family is min. 256x256 pixels, max. 2000x2000 pixels.
– For Nokia Asha platform phones you also need a rectangle screenshot sized
480*640 or 240x320.
Note: Nokia Publish will scale down and resize your images to fit the Nokia Store used
in various phones and desktop browsers. However, if the rectangle screenshot image
is not entered for Nokia Asha platform, the square image will have gray borders on
top and bottom .
– For Nokia Asha platform also a 120x60 Mobile promotional banner is mandatory.
Please note that content name will be shown on top of the banner. Therefore please
not include text in this banner. Otherwise it will look very messy.

8. Step 3. Checking your content
9. Make sure that your content works as described in Content Guidelines.
Good quality content receives better ratings and more downloads.
There are also some things to be checked:
– If your content uses services like positioning, messaging, or data connections
that require permission(s), make sure they are correctly defined in JAD file.
Otherwise they will fail in Nokia QA with the signed version of app. See API calls
that do require JAD definitions:
(http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Java/#!developers-
guides/security/midp-security/appendix-c-summary-of-protected-
methods.html)
– If the application requests personal details or uses/shares the personal data
like from Calendar. Also if it uses any of the following: positioning, push
notifications, analyzes the behaviour of the user for marketing purposes or
shares the user behaviour data. Then the help menu or other suitable place in
the applications must contain Privacy policy. Privacy policy desribes the usage
and sharing of the data. For usage of any of the four things mentioned above
the user should be informed about the feature in the first start and given a
chance to turn it off. This setting must be available also later on in app settings
or in another suitable place of the app.

9. Step 4. Submit your content
1. On the Welcome page, press Create new
content.
2. Select your content type, in this case Java
app for S40 Asha app.
3. Answer the Legal questions about if your
content follows the Content Guidelines, and
if you have the rights to distribute the
content. If there is encryption in your
content, certain paperwork is needed for
the US requirements. If there’s no
encryption=no paperwork.
4. The first page for submitting new content
opens like on the right. Fill in all the
mandatory metadata. The help texts and
Publisher Guide provide you more
information on what to fill in.
5. When ready, press Create

10. Step 4. Submit your content
The following main view opens.
1. Check if privacy policy is
required for your app
2. Price can be set on this page
3. Go to the Content files tab,
and submit .jar and .jad files
4. Scan the files in the file view
and if goes ok, you are free to
upload them

11. Step 4. Submit your content
After uploading the files the following page
opens for defining the distribution.
1. Check the phone specifications for
your app.
At least one device per selected
product family should be fully tested.
To do it for free remotely, go to:
http://www.developer.nokia.com/Dev
ices/Remote_device_access/
2. Select other phones and their status
according to your best understanding
3. Click Next, and select suitable
country distribution and supported
language(s)
4. Click Save.
5. Click the content item name to go
back to the main view, before
submitting to QA

12. Step 4. Submit your content
1. Scroll down to see the following
fields. Here you can add more
screenshots and specific rectangle
screenshots for Nokia Asha platform
devices in scaled versions. At least
primary, secondary and third
screenshots are recommended.
2. 120x60 banner is mandatory for
Nokia Asha platform (please do not
include text in this banner as the
name of the content will be shown
on top of it). Other promotional
banners are recommended
3. That’s all. Now you are ready to
submit your files to the Nokia QA
process.

13. Step 5. Nokia QA
• If there are no failures in the Nokia QA it takes 5-7 days to get your files
and metadata moderated, signed, tested, and published
• If your content fails, you will get an email notification with details about
the reasons for the failure. You are asked to fix the problem and resubmit
the content.
• If you need help with fixing your content, read the Content Guidelines, Top
QA issues and Top 10 Support cases documents at
http://support.publish.nokia.com/?page_id=4547
• You can also check the support pages, or contact
developer.support@nokia.com 24/7 service
• Nokia Developer Community at Developer.nokia.com is often the best
source for technical knowledge

14. Step 6. Your content in store
• Once your content is published, check the content with Nokia Store supported
Nokia phones or with store.nokia.com.
• On the publish tool report page you will see an up-to-date report of your content
sales and download figures.
• Nokia Store has the biggest coverage in operator billing 160 operators in 60
countries, which means a bigger revenue opportunity for you as a publisher.
• Whenever the actual profit goes over 100€, it is paid at the end of the next
month. With actual profit there can be a couple of months delay, as Nokia needs
to receive the money from the operators before giving it forward. This delay will
be fixed in fall 2013. With credit card payments there is no such delay.
• Remember to promote your content! With Nokia Publish Tool it is also easy to
create needed banners in case Nokia wants to spotlight your popular high quality
content: http://www.developer.nokia.com/Distribute/Promoting_your_app/Home
