Hi everybody
Here's my (from AndroidWorld.it) guide to how to publish an app created with App Inventor in the Market:
http://www.androidworld.it/2010/10/...tor-applications-in-the-android-market-23498/

If you have any correction (also for my bad english!) let me know

I always get this error:

C:\APK Compiler>apktool b Launcher.apk
Exception in thread "main" brut.androlib.AndrolibException: brut.directory.PathN
otExist: apktool.yml
at brut.androlib.Androlib.readMetaFile(Unknown Source)

at brut.apktool.Main.main(Unknown Source)
Caused by: brut.directory.PathNotExist: apktool.yml
at brut.directory.AbstractDirectory.getFileInput(Unknown Source)
... 5 more

What do you think's wrong?

Is there anyway some of the geniuses here can get this to be a little simpler? For some reason I cant even get apktool to run. I hate windows.

Do you update the app a lot? Cause if not, I can just modify your apk so you can publish it in the Market.

Interesting guide, exciting idea.
For some reason I cannot get past step 1, I get a list of java.io errors....
I'm hoping the thread there or google will cover some troubleshooting for that soon.
-Update_
Ok that was silly, I used a bad target directory, read only.
On to the next steps.

Could you lend me a hand with my apk marketplace upload?

I have a couple of really good app inventor apps that I created. I tried the tutorial many times posted above with no luck. I read here that you could just modify the apk to publish? If you can help me with this it would be a tremendous help. I'll send you my email if you can help me out. Thanks

You can try AppToMarket that automates the conversion of App Inventor app To Android Market. AppToMarket also has ability to let you create a self-signed certificate for signing your app.
