How do you go about submitting an ambiance to the Jolla Store?

I would like to create my own ambience but do not know how to do this?

I tried to submit my own Ambience to Harbour. It was rejected, stating that there are no plans, as of yet, to have an ambience section on Jolla Store. This was 5 months ago.

Hello Mark - Thank you for submitting an application to Harbour. After reviewing your app, I regret to inform you that I have to reject it. Currently we do not support any 3rd-party ambiances in our Store. We are looking for ways to allow this in future, but I cannot give you any estimations.

Unless things have changed since, I don't know. Perhaps it was partly due to the fact I have no created an actual TOH or nfc tag, just a plain black and white ambience.

Regards,

Im guessing there are some on there though as people must have created ambiences linked to their own created TOH's? Cheers.

No, there are NO user created ambiences on Jolla Store. You will find some on Openrepos, but not Jolla Store.

So you can't link an ambience to an NFC tag then! TOH SDK states it triggers a download from the Jolla Store. This is awful, the whole concept therefore doesn't work?

Good question. I haven't tried with tags. Of course the concept works, it's exactly how it works with an official TOH from Jolla, you snap it on your phone with a valid internet connection and an account with Jolla, your TOH (the tag) triggers the download - I'm sure you understand that anyway, but Jolla Store is not (for now) accepting Ambience/TOH creations created by END USERS - I assume they are looking for actual BUSINESS PARTNERS to develop new TOH ideas, like Rovio and Angry Birds or this clothing company from Finland called Makia.

Or, perhaps I misunderstand the whole concept as well, but I see where you are coming from also.

@HaydGately - it also seems that Jolla will no longer be designing/creating any more hardware, it seems they have already decided that software (SailfishOS) is all they will be concentrating on. So in effect, I see no further development regarding the TOH's.

Perhaps the next manufacturer of the hardware, may incorporate the TOH as part of its design but I wouldn't hold your breath. This is of course, pure speculation on some fronts and some of it is personal opinion. See this article from jollablogspot; http://reviewjolla.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/news-new-sailfish-os-phone-manufacturer.html
