Yes, but what about those "lucky" developers who live in countries where selling apps is not available in both - apple appstore and google play markets?

Are there any other channels for selling apps?

I "Ask HN"-ed this but didn't get much attention...

Why not make a web app? and make it responsive for mobile users?

Or have a friend in say the UK submit it for you

Got your point, but web app is a different story. I want to simply put the paid app on the app store.

The thing is, it is not only for the submission, but one needs to have, for instance, address, bank account... So you would have to ask your friend quite often, which is not comfortable and scalable.

EDIT: @ambiate - Sorry, didn't get your question, could you please clarify.

Are you telling me there is a market for laundering apps from the app store?

For Apple app store, that list seems to correspond more to where App store is available to users. It might not correspond to the same list for developers.
