Hi is there any way to get a free developer's account for the Android Market? Or will someone be willing to let me use theirs or buy one for me in exchange for a favour? I am only 16 and my family have no credit cards.
PS I'm only going to host free apps.
Thank you

Thanks for acknowledging me mate here's some ideas I was thinking of:
An AFL goal kicking game... kind of like Footy flick for iOS this I am planning to make in Unity Game Engine. I may also do a rugby or soccer version that just depends on how many downloads I get.
An Android port for the animation program Pivot. I am still planning how to tackle this.
Maybe a few basic apps like an offline System Requirements and some game hints and cheats.
I was also planning to make some casual games but I need to find a good game engine because I don't want to rely on Unity too much

I've developed an android app that I wish to give away freely
I too have a very useful android app (OS 2.3 and higher) It's called TSN Solar Observatory. It's a one-stop heliophysics data center that is near real-time. Features are: real-time solar gauges for wind/density/polarity/temp/IMF/pressure, KP indexes, auroral envirionment, GOES/ACE data plots, active solar regions, SOHO imagery, CME arrival prediction, current magnetosphere/magnetopause data, earth-sun connectivity, up to date SDO AIA imagery in 8 filters, educational heliophysics videos, and more. Very fast data acquisition. I just don't have a place to host it.
If interested, it is available on my website via rapidshare download .apk
non profit website
You cant have a developers account for free. 25$ registration fee is compulsory in order to upload apps to the play store.

Why should anybody want this?
Well, it depends from the app, iOS has push notifications (which are almost the same), and this one will be good if you want to send messages to users app remotely - for example alerting them for event or something ....

But you could have done this without google... push notifications do not require a server by google (however you need one, but that shouldn't be the problem these days)
iOS and Windows Phone both have an OS dependant push notification service. That's simple because you have (or had) no internet connection from background apps on those OSs - so the only way to reach an app is via push using apple/microsoft servers - android does not have this restriction - so why give your/your user's data to google?

To avoid having background tasks and permanent connections that would degrade the performance of the device.
However, I don't feel that sending a push message that just tells the user that there's new stuff in the app hurts or discloses any private info. Even, thanks to Android, you could use the push notification to "awake" the app, then the app connects silently to your own server to get the info it needs, without google knowing, and closing the connection right after.

That's not correct - you just give away the background task / permanent connection to another application, it's still needed. Moreover, with using this "service" you force your users to have gapps installed (and currently also JB, as gcm is currently only available in the newest Google APIs)

If its only a tickle to notify the app that there is sth to update its not a privacy problem. But gcm allows you to send 4k of payload - this could be a private or chat message. (google gives such an example: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/adv.html#payload )

That's right, but the question is if I - as a user for now - want this. Should the app developer (and Google!) be able to start apps on my phone to do things?

I'm not going to tell you that google will know about it - it's up to you to find this out.
I agree, being not universal is a problem. But I prefer just an open connection to a notification server than many connections and multiple background services that developers might have not optimized.
Regarding what Google knows or not, it actually has nothing to do with GCM

GCM does not stop developers from doing **** with their background services.
You might be right, that one connection is better than many, however it is important to see, that most traffic on android devices today is with google servers - even if your mails are not there. All this traffic is not done with a single connection, but often many parallel connections. So google should optimize thier own things, else this is useless to me, as i do not need those google apps and i would have less connections with every other app using their own connection than with google apps installed.

However GCM is just an additional option for developers, which itself is good. The C2DM was a poor try to make things done. I hope this time its better

GCM is just an additional option for developers who want to make their apps incompatible with AOSP. However as there still are developers out there that do not know what AOSP is, they do not know that using GCM makes them incompatible. So GCM is not good at all, because it may be used "accidentally" by those developers.
So GCM is even worse than the pendants for iOS or WP, because there the push service is available for everyone.

There is an alternative: write your own stuff. A push server is not that complicated. As you propably already got a server (because i dont think you want to send GCM pings from your home ) you got all you need, to not use GCM.
Hello
Google Cloud Messaging apparently not working on my device. Reported by a web service (not from Google but using GCM). Why?
My Google account fully configured and all used services assigned and working.
Where's the problem??
This is used by a few big developers. In their own apps. One of the biggest being AOKP with their AOKP push app.

In new Cyanogenmod Google CloudMessaging been used. CM 10 encodes SMS and these SMS been send per Google Cloud Messaging. CM is Open Source so you can get tipps from there
Hi,
I am looking for beta testers for my app - CarStand. It is car dashboard which gives you easy access to forecast, media player control, dial contact, launch app or setting. There is NFC support to write custom NFC tag to use it for launching the app.
This is the store link with full description.
The app works on Windows phone 8 only. This is closed beta so you must send me e-mail at [email protected] with subject starting with 'beta ...' and include your Microsoft account name which is registered to your windows phone device to enroll you in beta.
You can send me suggestions and bug reports from within the app (just go to 'settings' -> 'about') or at e-mail [email protected].
I will greatly appreciate if you can give me feedback for: NFC write to tag, NFC launch from tag (I haven`t NFC on my device so it`s difficult for me to test NFC), launching 3rd party apps especially Nokia ones.
Thanks for looking!
Mladen
Update: Developers who have apps in marketplace and associated 'uri' to them may send me mail with description of the uri so I can add shortcut to their app in CarStand.
Hi,
CarStand Beta is over and now the app is published in Windows Phone marketplace for FREE. You can grab it from this link http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/carstand/956f68a0-89c3-4f03-ad98-dc5b125a0c72 .
Thank you all for participating in beta testing. Please write a review of the app if you like it or send us some feedback with suggestions or bug reports.

Like the idea so far!!! i had something like this on Windows Mobile....I used to use it to text and view my phone without having to pick it up.
Question: Do you have to have the full version in order to text? That's what I wanted to try before I make a purchase.
Can you add "Background task" so i can have this on while doing other tasks on my phone?
Thanks.

BTW, nice work (bought a paid version)! I especially like a web page design
P.S. I do have a question to you: could you help with web-page design for the open source project(s)? And did you offer some commercial services for the custom web page design (I need a simple "Metro-style" informational home page)?

Dear barrychon,
Thank you for your useful feedback.
Actually the trial version is a quite similar to the full version with limitation with number of photos and contacts, please try the trial before purchasing.
Regarding the text from PC, yes you can send text messages, emails, make phone calls from PC using GoToMyPhone, however, you have to confirm the action from your phone, this is a security concern from Microsoft API.
Regarding the background task, even if the application works in background you can't reach it via socket, the background apps run every amount of time, API does not allow Background apps as service.

Dear SeNS,
I really appreciate your voice on my feedback page, I will try my best to review and include some features if feasible with current API.
Concerning your requests, I may be able to help with open source projects, please check my page on codeplex: http://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/fakoua
Review my current projects and invite me to your projects or just mail me [email protected].
Concerning commercial services, I really appreciate your offer, but I'm busy with too many projects including GoToMyPhone and MetroAirServer (light IIS over WP8), I can't provide commercial services.
For your metro-style page, you may check the open source section in GoToMyPhone about page, and please refer to: http://aozora.github.io/bootmetro/ a modified theme for Bootstrap (twitter bootstrap) it may help with your design.
Please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Thanks for the quick reply; I'm really appreciate your attention!
Please, check my codeplex profile: https://www.codeplex.com/site/users/view/SeNS
Probably, I'll ask you soon about design of the simple configuration web-page for my new, upcoming project "X10 home server" (not released yet). There is nothing special; just a few controls and input boxes but I really want it elegant and stylish as your configuration pages for the "GoToMyPhone" app

Please read the XDA forum rules regarding posting apps, and make sure you're in compliance with them. The key component is that you're not allowed to use this board as advertising for a paid app, although you're welcome to provide a way to get it for free here and then link to a paid version (not a paid *upgrade*; that's not the same thing) as a sort of "feel free to donate by buying the app from the store" kind of thing.
I haven't tried the app yet, so I don't know how severe the trial restrictions are (something you should be specific about, by the way) but I'm tired of seeing links to paid third-party apps in the forum. Time was, this board was for finding beta testers and publishing links that anybody could use (often to the XAP files themselves; this is a developer community and most of us probably have dev-unlocked phones).
Sorry

Dear GoodDayToDie
I'm so sorry if I didn't follow the forum rules, I know it is not an excuse, but I found a lots of free trial apps with commercial edition, and that's why I created this thread, and as I said, It is not an excuse.
Please feel free to take any action regarding this post if you think it is not following the rules.
Thanks
Eh, I'm not a moderator or anything, I just want to make sure they don't have to get involved. Some of the apps, where the trial is "get the app for free, and if you want to donate/thank us, buy it!", are not a problem at all; it's mostly a matter of making sure people can get the app for free if you want to post it here. There's nothing wrong with asking for donations or anything, it's just not OK to advertise commercial stuff unless it's related to the site.
I recently published a third-party tumblr app for windows 10 mobile named "Ouga", it's just a personal project, free and no ads. if someone have interest for it, you can try it and please give some feedback. Because i'm a newer, i have no permission to post link, you can visit my tumblr blog "codemonkeylr" to get link.

Support PC
I have published a new version. Now you can download and install Ouga on your all Windows 10 devices – PC, tablet, phone and more from the windows store.
Already ratet 5*. It's the best tumblr app I have ever seen. Even better than Tutle Blog viewer!
Edit: There is one single feature I miss. Being able to download pictures. There is another but that's not that important; being able to play embedded audio inside the app.
what about notifications?

because Ouga is not an official application, so can not be able to achieve real-time push notifications. The only thing i can do is pull messages every 15 minutes in the background, but it will increase the device's battery life and use much more cellular data.
Being able to save images would be great
Edit: Awesome! Can save images now, play embedded sound. I love this app.
