Is there a way to test an Android Auto application in the car, before submitting it to Google?
I have the application working in the DHU supplied by Google, but would like to confirm that it works properly in the car, prior to submission.
Because of the UX/Safety concerns, you HAVE to be live on the Play Store - aka go through review (which is a new thing for Android) before testing in-car. However, this doesn't mean that you have to be public - you can publish to the Alpha or Beta channel, so only you and an optional controlled list of people can access it.
