[SOLVED] Tizen GM lisence

[ajan-ko]

Let's jump right into the question

Is there any way to upgrade the pro edition with tizen module?
I saw in web it's 199$ but I can't find it on the menu.

Thank you.

Looks like it's not available unless you bought the Master Collection, and it has a show-stopping bug which means you cannot submit to the Tizen Store due to a power consumption issue.

Even if you choose "Get the Tizen module now" from the Tizen target dropdown inside GMS it takes you to a page with no mention of the Tizen module.

@Mike @rwkay @ShaunJS
Can you get the Tizen module separately if you don't own the Master Collection?
If you DO own the MC, can you submit to the Tizen Store successfully?
Was the power consumption bug mentioned in the thread above ever fixed, or will it be?

The power stuff was looked at, but the SDK I believe is way beyond what's implemented, I doubt very much it'll upload onto any store now.

There simply wasn't the demand for it, and they kept making sweeping SDK changes.

I don't think there'll be any more work being done for Tizen, as a platform it's pretty dead.

Thanks for the reply @Mike.

I agree it's pretty dead, but I asked as Samsung are running a competition all through 2017 where the top 100 downloaded apps each month win $10k each, and with only a couple thousand apps on the store it looked appealing.

If it wasn't too much work your end it may be worth looking into updating the Tizen module and releasing it at a discount in tandem with the info about the incentive program.

I'm sure people on here would be interested in the module with a possible $10k prize up for grabs from Samsung, but I doubt they would pay the old full price knowing it was going to be a one off update for the Incentive Program and then not supported after this.

As long as people understood the plan, and that it was only being updated / sold in relation to the Incentive Program through 2017 I'm sure you could generate some revenue with it, but then I don't know how much work is involved in updating it so it may not be cost effective.

Just a thought

This is what I thought, why on earth Samsung completing with the mighty OG (original google, bad pun intended) to create an OS on phone?
They even kill the windows pong.
That incentive program pretty much appealing to try, nothing to lose if I can spend 199$ to slap it to tizen store,
but yeah if the power breaker or sdk problem was the case, well...

gotta think again if I really want to get that module.

Yeah, we're aware of it. Unfortunately there's a huge amount of work involved bringing it back up to spec for the 10 people that "might" use it, and after the comp it'll be just as dead. Just isn't worth it.

As it stands, I suspect the current version won't even get approved to go on the stores - I've no idea what SDK they are currently on, but as I said, they have a habit or completely redoing everything. It's never a quick process to upgrade and with out doing so, I suspect nothing will work.

No worries, thanks for taking the time to reply anyway I appreciate it!

Good to know I wasn't the only one having that experience.
