Google wants more modules for Project Ara. So how are they getting developers to work with the modular smartphone? With a developer application, of course! If approved and Google brings a developer along for the ride, they can start to produce their own modules with a development board.

There are multiple rounds for applicants to try and get involved. The current round is ending on July 17 as Google has reviewed applications. The next round will start the following day on July 18 and run through August 17. Applicants can expect a response (if approved) one week after the review period has ended.

The development boards will begin shipping to approved applicants at the end of July.
