"Developers must publish titles on all required form factors with exemplary quality (as defined by the requirements below). Required formfactors will vary based on the app's category, which will be published as part of the program requirements, where the form factor's constraints would meaningfully degrade a quality experience on that form factor (e.g., video playback on a watch), and except on particular devices where there is not a viable technical solution to provide quality experience due to system constraints(e.g. memory, performance, storage, input, or operating system version)."
"Quality: Utilize Jetpack Compose (or an equivalently capable alternative) to deliver a high quality app experience across all form factors (providing the same capabilities as, for example, Adaptive design, Edge to Edge rendering, Dynamic coloring & Theming, Baseline Profiles)"
"New titles need to be available on the following form factors: Mobile & Large Screen (Tablet, Android PC), XR (with titles running in a 2D window on the XR device), TV, Wear (with at least companion app support), and Auto, no later than their availability on other comparable non-Android platforms or such titles will not be eligible for the program benefits until 6mo after they fulfil"
The Apps Experience Program requires developers to publish app titles on multiple form factors—mobile, large screens, XR, TV, Wear, and Auto—with exemplary quality standards. Required form factors vary by app category, excluding cases where technical constraints prevent quality experiences. Apps must meet stability requirements including frame rate stability, crash rates, ANR thresholds, and memory usage limits. Quality standards mandate using Jetpack Compose or equivalent tools to deliver consistent experiences across devices, including adaptive design, edge-to-edge rendering, dynamic coloring, and baseline profiles. Developers must maintain latest Android platform standards and integrate Android design systems equivalent to other platforms. New titles must launch simultaneously across all required form factors or become ineligible for program benefits until six months after fulfilling requirements.
