Successful Migration  From Nokia to Opera

-------------------------------------------------------------------



From Nokia to Opera – information for a successful migration
As you know, on November 18th 2014, we
announced our plans to replace Nokia Store with Opera Mobile Store as the
default app store for Nokia feature phones, Symbian and Nokia X
smartphones.  


This transition will help our developer community
maintain a vital connection to millions of people who use classic Nokia phones,
through a trusted source for apps, games and content. 

Today we’d like to share details on how to migrate
your applications so that you can make the most of the opportunity ahead. 

A three-step migration to the Opera Mobile Store
From mid-January 2015, you will be able to start
migrating your content from the &CID=195108">Nokia
Publish site to the &CID=195109">Opera Mobile Store. 
To do that, you need to follow three simple steps:

      First, register with Opera. This is something many developers have
     already done.  If you haven’t yet
     registered, you can do so &CID=195110">here 
     Next, when you receive the invitation email from us in January,
     you’ll need to visit the &CID=195111">Nokia Publish site. Here you’ll be asked to give
     consent to have your content migrated across to Opera.
     Finally, you will then be asked to confirm which content you would like to migrate. 

Opera will
then carry out the migration within 72 hours and notify you when the chosen
content appears in the Opera Mobile Store.
Importantly, you
will only have the opportunity to migrate content once. After you have been through this process, any further apps
you wish to transfer from Nokia Publish to the Opera Mobile Store will need to
be submitted to Opera directly who will then upload them.  
These steps
will need to be completed by March 15th
2015. 
For those who would like to register at the Opera
Mobile Store and start publishing there now, you can do so &CID=195112">here. 
App signing
Opera
will continue to provide signing for your Series 40 and Java applications.  More information will be
shared in January.   
Please note
that Symbian and Series 60 apps will not be re-signed by Opera, as noted in
previously communicated plans for the Symbian platform.

 
The coming months - important
dates to know
The next few months
include a number of key dates to remember:

     January to March 2015 – Throughout this period,
     Nokia Store customers will be notified of the transition from the Nokia Store
     to Opera Mobile Store and migrated to Opera Mobile Store. Beginning in January,
     a message will appear in the Nokia Store client. From February and concluding
     in March, consumers will then be transitioned over to the Opera Mobile Store.
     February 18th
     2015 – Beginning
     February 18th 2015, developers will no longer be able to publish
     apps to the Nokia Publish site. Additionally, developers will no
     longer be able to register at &CID=195113">developer.nokia.com or Nokia
     Publish. 
     March 15th 2015 –
     All content
     must be chosen for migration by developers before this date.
     March 31st 2015 – developer.nokia.com will retire completely in
     March. We continue to work on a plan to migrate content from developer.nokia.com
     to relevant locations, and will provide more detailed information in due
     course.
     
     Consumers will be
     able to purchase content from the Nokia Store
     until they are migrated to Opera Mobile Store or until March 31st
     2015, whichever is first.   Consumers can
     make in-app-billing purchase transactions until March 31st 2015.
     


     April 2015 – Revenue and download reports
     for transactions in March will continue to be available on the &CID=195114">Nokia Publish site until April 23rd
     2015. Final payments will be made to publishers for consumer purchases made
     through March in late April/early May. Please ensure that your bank details registered
     on the Nokia Publish site are up to date.


     April 23rd 2015 onwards
     – Beginning
     April 23rd, the Nokia &CID=195115">Publish
     site
     will be retired. Revenue and download reports will be available on the site
     until then, after that they will only be available upon request. We recommend accessing your reports before April
     23rd 2015, but will communicate the process for making subsequent
     requests nearer the time.

The transition
