American e-commerce company Amazon has continued the global expansion of its appstore to nearly 200 countries including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, India, South Africa, South Korea, Papua New Guinea and Vatican City.
The apps will be made available in the coming months when the Amazon appstore for Android launches internationally for consumers.
Registered developers who want international distribution will have their apps automatically made available for download, unless they designate otherwise, it says.
The international expansion is the latest in a series of Amazon appstore for Android launches, which have included the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Japan.
“Amazon’s platform is a complete end-to-end solution for developers wanting to build, market and monetise their apps and games on Kindle Fire and Android devices,” said Mike George, VP of apps and games at Amazon.
“Allowing developers to target distribution of their apps and games in even more international countries is yet another important milestone as we strive to serve consumers and developers globally.”
