Amazon's documentation is surprising lacking in information about the submitting binary process. From what I can tell, you submit an unsigned binary and they wrap it in their own code and produce a signed apk? This leaves several questions: Does the Amazon App Store perform a zipalign for you? If you have your app in the Android Market (Google's) already, is it recommended to use the same package name or a different one? Does it make any difference? I also saw elsewhere, that they offer the option to download the apk they prepare and sign it with your own key. Is it recommended to take this

Does the ELB's IP Ever Change once setup, or will it always access instances from the same location during its lifetime no matter what might be going on with it behind the scenes at Amazon? ELB's IP address keeps changing. You should instead use the DNS name provided to you. http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/thread.jspa?threadID=32280 The short answer: Yes, ELB's IP addresses (both the ones that are publicly distributed to clients of your service, and the internal IPs from which ELB sends traffic to your instances) dynamically change. The long answer: See my article about how ELB

I'm playing around with the Alexa Skills Kit (for the Amazon Echo) and want to create a skill that would send the intent to an AWS Lambda function which would just email something back to me. Sample Utterances would be something like this: MemoIntent take a memo {myMemo} MemoIntent to take a memo {myMemo} MemoIntent send a memo {myMemo} This would allow me to say something like "Alexa, ask my secretary to take a memo, remind me to go to the store on my way home today" and would then get an email from my Lambda function saying, "remind me to go to the store on my way home today." The myMemo

This URL sends an ISBN number to Amazon and gets back a small bit of XML including author, title, and publisher. However, I also want to get small, medium and large graphic and book descriptions of the title. Problem: I can find no REST URL examples/documention that work, either at Google or when logged into my "AWS Account" at Amazon Associates. I find a lot of examples from 2003-2005 but they are all out-of-date and give errors, it seems that Amazon's cloud web services have obfuscated their simple REST API documentation for their books. Can anyone point me to some documentation on how I can

I intend to develop a client for Amazon's Marketplace webservices (MWS). My requirements would be to update the order, synchronize the order status, get the order details using the APIs they have. However, I could not find a Sandbox environment to test these scenarios. Amazon has a payment Sandbox I understand, but is there a sandbox available to test these web-services? If not, any pointers on how to go about testing the above mentioned scenarios with Amazon MWS? Many thanks in anticipation. UPDATE As seen in the comments to this post, Amazon no longer provides a staging / test environment. i

So Amazon has lots of different APIs for different things, and it's hard to find the one I'm looking for. I have a client that sells things and checks Amazon's lowest price to know where to price their things (slightly under the lowest thing there). They want functionality integrated into their inventory system that would automatically find the product's lowest price on Amazon and display that. I was wondering which AWS service is best suited to this task. I see the Product Advertising API, and that looks like the closest thing right now. Is that so? I don't really want to rely on a scraper
