Developers can now start building new categories of Android Auto apps

[SamNoteUser]

Tools for developing navigation, parking, and charging apps have entered open beta

Earlier this summer, Google announced new categories of apps coming to Android Auto, including navigation, parking, and electric vehicle charging apps. Starting today, developers everywhere can begin testing out these categories with the Android for Cars App Library open beta.

The library consists of developer tools along with 68 pages of design guidelines to help ensure apps are built with safety in mind. Google developed the Android for Cars App Library together with select partners like ChargePoint, SpotHero, and Sygic, but this new open beta is available to all developers to assist in designing, crafting, and testing new kinds of Android Auto apps. In the coming months, Google says that it will enable these beta apps to be published on the Google Play Store.

The DHU now supports simulating instrument clusters, widescreen head units, and touchpads.

There are also updates for the Desktop Head Unit simulator that lets developers test out Android Auto apps without needing to hop in an actual vehicle. The DHU now supports emulating apps on multiple screen sizes, showing info in the instrument cluster, and simulating vehicles that allow touchpad input.

It won't be long now before consumers start to see the rewards stemming from these new tools for developers. Driving may be down these days, but that doesn't mean Google's efforts to improve Android Auto have reached a red light.

Pretty good news! It can be profitable in the future

Very interesting. To be honest, when it comes to software and app development, I always try to reach out to professionals and reliable companies. I recently found a company that deals with software development for startups. I think this is a great option for those who can't find suitable software for their business.

You know that in app development it's very important to remember about security. A lot of apps don't pay attention to it and as a result, we deal with a data leak. So this point also is very important. You can use testing tools to check the security of the app

The cases of hacking apps happen more and more often. Developers have to remember about the security of the apps. Recently I've heard about special security app testing services which can check your app and protect it in the future. You should visit the site. I haven't even expected that there is such a wide range of testing tools that are free and can be customized to your specific requirements

Creating new applications is a rather time-consuming and complex process. However, when using the right resources, this process becomes much easier. For example, I own my own IT company and recently I needed to expand my business, so I learned more from this source https://cloudsmallbusinessservice.com/blog/what-is-it-staff-augmentation.html about what it means to increase the staff augmentation and how this affects the development of my business. If you have also ever thought about increasing your staff, which can bring you much more benefits, I think this information will be relevant for you.

It's indeed quite hard to find a team of developers that's actually reliable. I need to optimize some working processes, and I don't even know who to turn to.

Oh, I think I have the perfect company for you. It took me a while to find a reliable team of developers, but I can tell you it was all worth it because specialists provided me **bleep** digital enterprise solutions that were beneficial for me, and I'll leave a link for you on the company I've been working with for a while.

Good afternoon, interested in developing startups, can anyone suggest which company to contact. We are planning to create our own startup. Already did some research, and we understand what kind of startup we want. We just need a team to develop an app for us. We have the finances to implement it.
