Windows Store app submission is non-compliant (not accepting applications submitted through the DreamSpark developer program)

Question

I submitted my app updates for certification, but the certification process failed:

Thanks for your interest in Windows Store. Unfortunately, at this time, we are not accepting applications submitted through the DreamSpark developer program. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We also encourage you to read a recent blog on how to make your app more visible in the Store (https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/01/15/give-your-apps-more-visibility-six-recommendations-for-2016) to build quality apps that customers want. Please reach out to Developer Support if you have any questions.

DreamSpark developers won't be able to submit apps to windows store?

PS: many people have the same problem - https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/3f90fbf2-42a3-4c85-8fc3-6ac8bb06c173/is-app-submission-from-dreamspark-developers-postponed

Answer 1

The message received is correct. There have been issues with misuse of Dreamspark accounts that were causing severe issues with the Store. However, we realize that many of you are not part of this activity and as such we can help you by contacting Developer Support. Please contact them directly so that they have your account information and can get your apps set up for success!

Thanks
