Uploading Android application to several appstores could be time consuming operation. AppDF is designed to simplify this process. You describe your Android application once, create a simple AppDF archive that includes the XML description, APK file(s), screenshots, etc and just upload this AppDF file to all the stores.
AppDF file is a ZIP archive with .appdf extension. This archive must contain description.xml file with application description (title, description text, screenshots, etc.). This description.xml file contains links to the other files in the archive like APK file(s), screenshots, promo graphics, video, etc.
There could be other description XML files for other languages. Their names should start with "description_" and they should have .xml extension. Their content will be merged with description.xml file content. These additional files could be used to simplify localization process, although they are optional and all localizations could be easily described in the main description.xml file.
One AppDF file describes one application. It cannot be used for describing multiple applications.
Description.xml file is an XML file with UTF-8 encoding. The root tag should be called <application-description-file>. [To be supplied.]
Right now AppDF files are not supported by Android application stores yet. We welcome all Android application stores to support this format - it will make uploading to your store much easier, so you will get more developers who upload and regularly update their apps in their stores.
