Cannot view the app on AA

[kyokusei84]

Sadly on my car I cannot see the demo option after build it. I tried to change the package name too, but didn't work. On PC, with the same smarthpone and app, with AA emulator works perfectly. How is it possible?
I downgraded AA to 2.9 version, but I cannot downgrade the google play services.

The problem is, google stopt all non-playstore AA Apps from working. As you already mentioned, one workaround would be, to downgrade your playservice - the other one would be to publish the demo app in the playstor (yeah 😅 - I've no idea what google thought about that.)

Anyway - whats the issue with downgrading your play-service?

Hi,

I have the same problem with other custom android auto app. There Is a solution? On emulator works but on car not.
The solution is also publish app to google play or downgrade playservices?
Witch version of google play services works correctly?

You have to enable the android auto developer mode and check the unknown sources option.

Yes android auto developer mode is on, unknow resources option Is on, but the problem Is the same.
With android auto emulator i view app on list and i can open It.
On real android auto in my car i havent the app in the list so i can't open It.
What Is the solution?

Is it not possibile to build a custom app without Google permission. You can only build notification for AA or a custom audio player for AA, that's how I did. I made a custom player, using the playlist as custom buttons for making the needed actions, and using notifications as response.

Hi, you have a sample app of this so i can try it if works?
you have only the radio player on this app or other functions?

Open Android studio, create a new project and choose Media Service from Automotive tab.

Thanks. But Is possible to use this workaround of messaging AA app to display data or android acrivity?

[andrea1984]

No you can't. You can only show (short) data via notifications.

Hi, with root and AA-Phenotype-Patcher is possibile to view custom app on real android auto?

Yes.
