Testing Amazon API with a non-published application,

I tried Sample Amazon Login app with standard API key, Amazon default package name and Amazon keystore - everything works fine. I registered my own application, then replaced API key, package name and built the apk with my keystore. The application does not complain about my API key and displays message "Click Continue to sign in". However, after I press Continue, the browser shows message "Web page is unavailable" and refers to non-existing address of my app at Amazon app store. My app is not ready to be published. Is there a way to test a non-published app?

Hi pcyanide, We have a service called Live App Testing that sounds like exactly what you're looking for: https://developer.amazon.com/public/resources/development-tools/live-app-testing It will allow you to test the experience of a live app and designate testers without actually having the app live in the store.

Thank you Nick. I configured my app for Life Testing. Not I get another message: "You are not authorized to view this page" and log-in still doesn't work. However GameCircle works OK and this is what I was actually after. BTW, there is a separate button: Submit App which I didn't notice at start. I assume that after I upload apk, it will work even without Life Testing.
