That would be great to see. Is it anything you're thinking about?

andres-asm commented 4 years ago

I don't think you can have non google play apps on android auto

Serkan-devel commented 4 years ago

Is it possible to run fdroid on there?

andres-asm commented 4 years ago

It's not about that, fdroid or whatever other store will only solve installation, deployment and updates. Android auto apps have to have google play as their origin to even appear as android auto apps.

Google has blocked all custom apps on Android Auto https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto/comments/8a32qj/custom_apps_in_aa_now_fully_disabled_since_google/

Uhm, there's a bit of confusion on Android Auto support, and I have some remarks to make, so I'll explain Android Auto compatibility as exhaustive as possible.

There are some categories of apps for Android Auto that falls into the ones I'm numbering:

  1. Messaging
  2. Media playback
  3. Custom
  4. Navigation
  5. Parking
  6. EV Charging

With the last 3 that literally today recieved the official SDK for.

The only ones of this lists that are actually blocked are custom apps. Those apps rely on a custom SDK made by martoreto that was actually blocked with a Google Play Services update. The workaround to make them work is to patch Google Play Services database.

Let me get straight to the point: as of now, the apps that fall into the first two categories are not GMS-dependant, they can be sideloaded, and in case they are not distributed on Google Play Store, they just need the activation of unknown sources in Android Auto to make them work (no patch needed, no root needed).

I can't say the same of last three categories, because, as I said, the SDK literally came out today.

The official documentation to add support to Android Auto is here: https://developer.android.com/training/cars/media/auto

There's actually a fair example of various apps that are not distributed on Google Play Store, they don't have any GMS library and they have support for Android Auto.

GTA Radio: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidAuto/comments/gnwikk/new_and_improved_grand_theft_auto_radio_app_for_aa/ AnyAutoAudio: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/android-auto-general/app-anyautoaudio-audio-app-auto-t3607916

TL;DR: Android Auto support for NewPipe is technically possible and it's not restricted at all.

the discussions there also report that one more app from f-droid, VLC, works fine with android auto's launcher

copying over my input from #8927:

ofcourse, i only want to play music (i.e. "play in background") on it, and not the videos
