Hello, to me it seems that the OC appstore is dead. I frequently tried to register an account - but never receive the activation. I am finished with the new Audio Player - but without appstore its hard to provide a convenient installation. Is there anyone left at OC - or are all people now with NC and their accounts locked? ---

Would be nice if the NC appstore were just a URL in the config file. As in: anybody can provide an app store, as long as it speaks the protocol that is expected. (And that protocol could be very simple as long as the app store doesnā€™t actually ā€œsellā€/license stuff.) Does this make any sense? ---

Since you are wanting to publish it in the OC store, I assume you want to support OC too. If you really canā€™t register you should open an issue at [https://github.com/owncloud/appstore-issues/issues](https://github.com/owncloud/appstore-issues/issues) . ---
