797646 - Inform users about changes to desktop install

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[krupa raj[:krupa]]

It was decided that installs for desktop will be disabled.

We need to do the following:

a) Decide what we are doing with desktop-only apps
b) Email developers who have submitted apps which support desktop
c) Disable install on desktop (already done)

What do you mean "what we are doing"?

On it.

Their install buttons have been disabled by me and Davor.

I think "d)" should be what are we saying in this email. CC'ing Justin and Adora for suggested copy.

Are those apps being disabled? I assume that we will at least not list them in search results.

The email went out. With the bookmarklet, users can we enable desktop apps and so they are still listed in our search results
