Android Developers: Navigating multi-device quality & publishing beyond mobile on Google Play

As the Android ecosystem expands across wrists, living rooms, vehicles, and XR, the opportunity to reach users on new screens is growing. However, distributing across Wear OS, Android TV, Android Auto, Android Automotive OS, or Android XR introduces distinct considerations for testing, store listings, and app reviews.

This session explores how to effectively utilize Google Play Console for non-mobile form factors to help streamline a predictable multi-device launch. We will cover key distribution decisions, including how to structure track strategies and package names, configure targeted testing tracks, and tailor store listings. You'll get a practical walkthrough of form-factor App Quality guidelines to help avoid common review pitfalls and publish on Google Play with greater confidence.
