Description
#1For the last week or two, when publishing an update to my app, I receive a 'provisional pass' for Android Auto functionality:
"The app did not appear in the Auto screen or lens picker when we attempted to test functionality."
"For example, your app does not contain an Intent filter for action "android.media.action.MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH".
This is incorrect. The app correctly supports Android Auto functionality, and the MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH intent is included in the manifest and correctly handled.
This also seems to delay the review process (normally 1-4 hours, now around 24 hours).
In testing with the Android Auto Head Unit emulator, I did notice that a voice search would fail because 'YouTube Music is not installed'. By changing settings in the Google Assistant, to use 'no default provider' rather than the default 'YouTube music', I was able to route voice searches to my app.
I believe that potentially, the automated testing for Android Auto 'play from search' is failing because the test doesn't account for YouTube Music acting as the default provider, while YouTube Music is not installed on the device.
