Android Auto Review Guidelines
1. Outline
ONE store provides the same principles for the app quality of Android Auto as Google's quality standards of Android apps for cars.
Android apps for cars must not disturb the driver in any way. It is recommended that drivers follow practices that can help minimize distractions, such as using voice commands and a very simple visual design, etc.
2. App Testing
With the Desktop Head Unit (DHU), development machines can emulate Android Auto head units, allowing them to run and test Android Auto apps.
DHU runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. For instructions on installing and running DHU and testing the app, please refer to the App Testing Guide for Android Auto.
3. Visual Design and User Interaction
This criteria ensures that the app follows the core design and interaction patterns to provide a consistent, intuitive and satisfying user experience in Android Auto. The system sets up and renders various elements, such as search windows, card backgrounds, fonts, icon colors, etc. When running on devices connected to Android Auto, the app's unique design elements must meet the following criteria:
1) Android Auto App
2) Android Auto Media App
3) Android Auto Navigation App
4) Android Auto POI(Point of Interest) App
5) Android Auto IOT App
