How to publish an app to European countries such as Germany and Sweden?

Hi Garmin Fellows!

I recently developed and published my fist application for Garmin watches. It's a simple counting application that has received good reviews.

apps.garmin.com/.../be62590d-5dcd-4fbd-ba6f-02dffaae0abd

Now I would like to make the application available in more European countries but they are greyed out on the selection list.

How can the application be made available to more European countries such as Germany and Sweden?

Best regards

Erik

Thanks! That should be the solution.

If would be great to have a direct link from app submission page as well. Or at least make it clearer.

Anyway, thanks for the answer.

For folks that submit their first app after the Feb date, I was under the impression that it there was something about this when you submitted the app. but I could be wrong. For folks that had apps in the store prior to that date, they are grandfathered in for a period of time (i don't know if I've ever seen how long that lasts).. I was grandfathered in, but still filled out the form right away and am verified.

Once you submit the form, it can take a bit of time to be verified and watch for the email asking you to submit something like a driver's license to verify your identity.

Anybody able to give an idea of the turn around time on this. I'm pretty sure I filled this in a few weeks ago but not 100% sure. Did it again yesterday to double check. Not heard anything at all.

I did this when it first started and it took maybe a week. I've known the people that handle the verification for a long time and had met them in person at the Summits, so I was pretty easy to do. I expect there are many more people trying to get verified right now, so maybe a backlog..

Thanks, that's good to know. Hopefully should go through soon then.
