Do we need to resubmit apps on Amazon for Fire HD 6/7 support?

Hello,

I was updating one of my apps today, and I saw new "Device Support" options in the Binary Files tab. The newly available devices are Fire 6 and 7 (4th Gen).

Both were checked by default so I just submitted the app. What about the old apps? Do wee need to update them if we want our apps to be available on all Kindle Fire devices?

Thanks.

    Anyone, please? :) Hm, I might also ask the Amazon support and share the answer here.

    Hi Hendrixs,
    Yes you need to update the apps for them to be available on 4th Gen devices.
    I checked one of my apps ("current version" ---> "Binary" ---> "Device Support") and the 4th Gen does not show up.

    "All non-Amazon Android devices based on my manifest, Kindle Fire (1st
    Gen), Kindle Fire (2nd Gen), Kindle Fire HD 7 (2nd Gen), Kindle Fire HD
    8.9 (2nd Gen), Kindle Fire HD 7 (3rd Gen), Kindle Fire HDX 7 (3rd Gen),
    Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 (3rd Gen)"

    As far as I remember it was the same with the 3rd Gen devices.

    You might want to wait. When I've updated apps the last few days, they've been approved for all but the new devices, with a note saying they aren't testing for them yet.

    FYI
    4th Gen devices are now tested when submitting a new app/updated app.
    Just got approval for two apps, that I have submitted yesterday.

    Thanks, Sylvia! I too just received an email confirming that my newly submitted/updated apps are compatible with the latest Kindle devices.
