Submitting Your App

Introduction

VIDAA apps can be created using HTML5 (web-based) or native app frameworks that follow VIDAA’s remote-friendly UI/UX guidelines. However, VIDAA does not offer a public self-service developer portal. To publish an official VIDAA app, you must enter into a partnership with VIDAA and coordinate through their Partner Engagement process.

Partnering and Publishing With VIDAA

Publishing an app on the VIDAA platform requires a formal process managed directly by VIDAA. The high-level steps include:

1. Contact VIDAA

Initiate the process by reaching out through the VIDAA Partners page.

2. Sign the Partner Contract & Pay Required Fees

VIDAA may require:

• A formal partnership contract
• An annual participation fee (depending on region and scope)

This grants access to:

• Developer documentation
• The VIDAA developer portal
• Required SDKs and certification tools

3. Work With a VIDAA Partner Engagement Manager

Once the partnership is approved, you will be assigned a dedicated Partner Engagement Manager who will guide:

• App integration
• Testing
• Territory and device compliance

4. Integrate & Test the App

Collaborate with your manager to:

• Build your HTML5 or native VIDAA app
• Ensure compatibility across VIDAA-supported TV models
• Ensure compliance with UI/UX guidelines

5. Submit Content Metadata

Your content metadata will be integrated into the VIDAA CMS for inclusion in universal search and listings.

6. Final Review & Publishing

VIDAA performs the final submission to the app store and publishes your app once it meets all platform requirements.
