Well i am trying to find what does ASIN mean what is being used for while publishing android app to Amazon store.

I found couple of links pointing to what ASIN stands for, Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs) or Amazon Standard Item Number. i am confused !!! i need this ASIN to add it in Manifest file.

Below are some links that i have checked it :

Link 1 where you can See the ASIN in product details

Link 2 where it says how we can get the ASIN and what is ASIN

The above links shows how we can get ASIN once we have app on Amazon store but since i have not submitted the app till now how will i find ASIN in my app ?

Why do you need it now? Wait until it's published. - Parker
@Parker we need that ASIN to be mentioned in other SDK that we have integrated. - user2056563
@Parker sorry i didnt get you - user2056563
Ok,Yes i need the ASIN for my app but its not yet published to store before that how can i find the ASIN number ? - user2056563
@Lyuben If we submitting the app for the very first time then we will not get the ASIN number, so only after we publish the app we get the ASIN number, for the next updates we can use the ASIN number. - user2056563

A very late answer here just incase anyone else has this problem like I had. Amazon's developer page has provided a helpful guide of what you can do to get around this: https://developer.amazon.com/public/apis/earn/in-app-purchasing/docs-v2/deep-linking-to-the-amazon-client
