> Native NDK is another can of worms

Thanks for sharing this. I agree with your sentiment as one of my Android apps use vox SDK. However, my experience is very limited compared to you to write about it.

> The absolute nightmare is about giving Google the root signing key of your application,

I haven't and I don't think it is required.

> the unfinished business about app bundles

Can you elaborate what's unfinished here?

> the compatibility for Google form factors (XR, TV, Auto, Automotive),

My app is disabled for Android Auto in production. If I re-enable, then it gets rejected during the review. I have never been able to precise fix the issue they are raising to let me re-enable Android Auto.

For Chromecast (TV), I have to run a web server inside the app to serve the media.






> I haven't and I don't think it is required.

It is required, as soon as you have Android TV support, for example.

TIL. Thanks. I have never used Android TV so I didn't know about this.
