Microsoft has opened the doors for developers to submit Windows Phone Mango apps to the market.

In July, the software giant said it would enable developers to submit apps to the Windows Phone Mango marketplace in late August. And it appears the company has made good on its promise.

In an Aug. 22 blog post, Todd Brix, senior director of Windows Phone product management at Microsoft, said:

We noted last month that App Hub would begin accepting Mango apps in late August. The infrastructure for accepting your Mango apps is coming online as we speak! Some of you may already be seeing new content as we conduct a final round of tests. Stay tuned for a more detailed overview of the Mango app submission process within the next 24 hours.

Also in July, Microsoft said it would deliver new tools for Mango app developers in August. In his July 20 post, Brix said: “Developers will need to use the Windows Phone Release Candidate (RC) tools that we expect to make available in late August to finalize their Mango apps and submit to App Hub. In the meantime, developers should get the free Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 here.”

The company has since updated the Windows Phone Software Development Kit (SDK) 7.1 and has, as of Aug. 22, delivered a Release Candidate version of the tooling. A description of the new version reads: “The Windows Phone Software Development Kit (SDK) 7.1 provides you with all of the tools that you need to develop applications and games for both Windows Phone 7.0 and Windows Phone 7.5 devices. This download is the Release Candidate (RC) and provides a Go Live license that enables you to develop and publish applications to the Windows Phone Marketplace."
