近日，苹果向开发商发送了一封邮件，宣布开放Mac App Store应用审核服务，称开发商可以登陆Mac开发中心（Mac Dev Center），创建一个iTunes Connect帐号，获取应用审核的详细信息，然后再创建一个苹果签发的Mac分销认证书（Mac Distribution Certificates），就可以提交待审核的应用产品。

Mac App Store

苹果曾指出，新的Mac App Store将提供与移动应用商店类似的可用性，提供游戏、教育和音乐等各类应用软件，不过该应用商店将独立存在，不与iTunes绑定。

据苹果官网所称，Mac App Store将彻底改变电脑软件的安装下载方式，所有的操作可以一步到位，用户可以使用分类搜索浏览Mac应用软件，也可以快速搜索所需的产品，任何Mac平台都能安装Mac应用软件，甚至可重复下载应用。

Apple opens doors for Mac App Store submission

Announced in October, Apple’s forthcoming Mac App Store is nearing launch, with the firm revealing the doors are now open for apps submissions.

Developers looking to have their titles on the roster for day one can now send their apps off to be reviewed and approved, with Apple detailing the process in an email pushed out to studios earlier today.

“The Mac App Store will be opening soon,” the email reads.

“Log in to the Mac Dev Center for details on setting up an iTunes Connect account, creating Apple-issued Mac Distribution Certificates and preparing your apps for the review process.”

App happy

Apple has previously pitched the Mac App Store as more of the same – serving up apps covering games, education and music – although the marketplace won’t be listed on iTunes, instead existing as its own space.

“The Mac App Store is just like the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad,” Apple said on its website following the marketplace’s unveiling.

“The Mac App Store revolutionises the way applications are installed on a computer – it happens in one step. You can browse Mac apps by category…or do a quick search for something specific. You can install Mac apps on every Mac you use and even download them again.”

Developers looking to get on board should visit Apple’s dedicated Mac App Store website.（source:pocketgamer）
