@cafonsomota seems like Google has very limited idea about what's allowed for an Auto app!

[yschimke]

What about making it first and foremost a navigation/poi app? Or media with audio of talks?

[John O'Reilly]

I might have to disable this for now just get other changes in to play store

[John O'Reilly]

just going to comment out some of the manifest file entries....hopefully that should be enough to keep them happy (can be enabled then locally still to try it out)

[cafonsomota]

weird, it’s set as a poi app 🤔

[cafonsomota]

perhaps it’s case sensitive? can we make a test with it?

[John O'Reilly]

where's that set?

[cafonsomota]

it might be uppercase 😅

[cafonsomota]

I’m going to make a PR with the change

[cafonsomota]

done, can you try again, please?

[cafonsomota]

fun fact, the message is not up to date, they also support since the beginning of the year IOT apps 🙂 (which weirdly is not case sensitive because my app was accepted and it’s lowercase)

[cafonsomota]

Or media with audio of talks

this is a really nice idea!

[John O'Reilly]

I have version in review right now.....might wait until that's sorted and resubmit then again with your change

[cafonsomota]

any chance we could generate an internal release for android auto? I’m also going to test Yuri PR during lunch (it’s not forgotten 🙂)

[John O'Reilly]

I think I'd have to re-enable auto form factor again for that? That might be fine for just internal version...

[John O'Reilly]

I think I can probably do that without affecting version currently in review....

[cafonsomota]

I can wait a bit, how long does it usually takes to be accepted?

[John O'Reilly]

it varies a lot! Seems to be much faster for iOS these days....and this is just for rollout to open beta. For internal testing channel it typically only takes very short while (< 1 minute)
