The Microsoft App Hub is SHIT. This is my view, you may disagree but we are all allowed an opinion. I have had an app submitted but not searchable in the Marketplace for nearly a month. Now that is shit, the whole idea of Microsofts 30% cut is they provide the storefront. What makes it worse is the emails saying we know there is a problem but we have no idea when it will be fixed. How difficult is it to have 100k records in a database. If you want to compete then you need to be as good if not better than the competition not a lot worse.
I thought I would take to the forums after several emails from support to my clients telling me Microsoft working on it, yes they f****d up the reply and sent it to one of my clients …. classic.
That question was “disappeared” as was another that I had replied to which asked if anybody else had issues. None of these were rude just pointing out there was a problem.
So I submitted this question.
and you can see it in the list here
but a day or so later it’s been “disappeared”
Well I can only imagine the forums are run by Microsoft China.

Download the beta. Pop in your card
sudo dd bs=1m if=wheezy.img of=/dev/disk1
where wheezy.img is the unzipped image file – I renamed because I am lazy and there is less typing involved :)
/dev/disk1 is the name of the SD card without the s1.
It does take AGES to write.
You can also update the firmware by grabbing it from here https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware and following instructions here.

So despite being “somewhere” in the Marketplace for 2 weeks you STILL cannot search for it or see it without a direct link…….
Could it get any worse, well yes, support emails are being sent to another accounts email address.
“Thank you for contacting the Windows Phone App Hub Developer Support Team. My name is Gary and I will be assisting you, regarding ‘Depicus Wake On Lan’ and its visibility on the Marketplace.
It appears that the reason you are unable to locate your app in a keyword or title search is due to an issue in our system, affecting some developers. It causes a delay in the search availability for some apps. Currently, it is still available via the deep link, which I have provided below. Our engineers are aware of this and are actively working to resolve it, as we understand that visibility is one of the most important aspects to app popularity. At this time, however, there is no estimated time of repair.
