Expanding the reach of your Android Auto apps




Posted by Eric Bahna, Product Manager





In December, we opened the Google Play Store for publishing new Android Auto apps to closed testing. Today, you can reach more drivers by publishing navigation, parking, and charging apps to open testing tracks in the Google Play Store. With open testing, there’s no limit to the number of users who can download your app and you don’t need to manage lists of email addresses. This is an important milestone that gets us closer to making these apps available to all users in production. Get started with the Android for Cars App Library and choose an open testing track in the Play Console.

To give you a peek at what’s ahead, we’re working on adding the library to Android Jetpack! This will give you more consistency with other Jetpack APIs and visibility into new features. When the Jetpack library is ready, migrating your app from the existing library will be straightforward - change the namespace and tweak some API calls. After we stabilize the library in Jetpack, we’ll prepare the Google Play Store to publish these new apps to production tracks.



You can get started today - you don’t need to wait for the Jetpack library.




  1. Design your app’s experience using our developer guide and app quality guidelines.

  2. Develop using today’s beta library so you can get user feedback from now.

  3. Test using the desktop head unit.

  4. Publish to the Google Play Store, now up to open testing tracks.



We’re excited to see what you’ve built and take it for a spin!
