After checking it out, I'm still unsure how I'd go around making the app for Android on PhoneGap and then getting it onto the Amazon App Store. Or is it a means of creating the app in the way set out by PhoneGap but not submitting it to them and then putting it onto the AAS

Gordon, I had similar questions as I got started (Oct 2013) with Html5 apps for the Amazon App store.

Deploy your content to the 'active' server (not localhost) that will host your code. This part is required while active at the App-Store. Run the web-app tester [1] as a separate process. Cut-n-Paste your deployed host server web page Url into the web-app tester [2] and press 'Save' Then launch your app form inside the web-app tester to view and test. Submit as explained via links at [1]. [1] https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/webapps.html [2] https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/webapps/tester.html Robin

Hi Gordon, You can not publish a hybrid app (using Phonegap) as "Web App" in Amazon App Store. Instead if you have an app purely written in HTML that you can publish through App Store. We launch a native app having chromium web view and launch the pages of the app in it. So the app what are written on top of framework like Phone gap can not be made as web app. Instead you should submit it to us as an Android app. Similar post : https://forums.developer.amazon.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1529&tstart=0
