Android Wear aims to provide users with just the right information at just the right time. Great
|
||||||
|
Android Wear experiences are launched automatically, glanceable, and require zero or low user
|
||||||
|
interaction. Designing apps for wearables is substantially different than designing for phones or
|
||||||
|
tablets. There are different strengths and weaknesses, different use cases, and different
|
||||||
|
ergonomics to take into consideration.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
The first step toward creating a great experience for users on Wear is to read the
|
||||||
|
<a href="{@docRoot}design/wear/index.html">Android Wear design guidelines</a>, which provides
|
||||||
|
instructions on how to build the best user experience for Wear apps. You should also review the
|
||||||
|
<a href="{@docRoot}training/building-wearables.html">Building Apps for Wearables</a> training, to
|
||||||
|
understand the basic implementation requirements for a Wear app.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p class="caution">
|
||||||
|
<strong>Important:</strong> To ensure a great user experience, apps for wearables must meet
|
||||||
|
specific requirements for usability. Only apps that meet the following quality criteria will
|
||||||
|
qualify as an Android Wear app on Google Play. Qualifying as a Wear app will make it easier for
|
||||||
|
Android Wear users to discover your app on Google Play.
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
<p class="note">
|
||||||
|
<strong>Note:</strong> You will be able to submit your apps for Android Wear review when the
|
||||||
|
public release of Android 5.0 launches on November 3. Stay tuned for more information about how to
|
||||||
|
submit your apps for Android Wear review through the <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/signup/">Google Play Developer Console</a>.

<strong>After I submit my app for Android Wear review, how will I find out if my app does not meet
|
||||||
|
all the requirements for Wear?</strong>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
If your app does not meet the usability requirements described on this page, the Play Store team
|
||||||
|
will contact you through the email address specified in the <a href=
|
||||||
|
"https://play.google.com/apps/publish/">Google Play Developer Console</a> account associated with
|
||||||
|
the app.
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p class="caution">
|
||||||
|
<strong>Caution:</strong> Make sure your app meets the <a href="#fn">functionality
|
||||||
|
requirements</a>, otherwise your app will not be considered a Wear app and will not be reviewed
|
||||||
|
for Wear <a href="#ux">design and interaction</a>.
|
||||||

</p>
|

<p class="note">

<strong>Note:</strong> You will be able to submit your apps for additional Android Wear review when

the public release of Android 5.0 launches on November 3.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p style="margin-top:30px;">
|
||||||
|
<strong>If my app does not meet the Wear requirements, will my new or updated app still appear on
|
||||||
|
Google Play for phones and tablets and still be installable on wearables?</strong>
|
||||||
|
</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>
|
||||||
|
Yes. The requirements described above only determine whether your app will be identified as an
|
||||||
|
Android Wear app on Google Play and easier for Android Wear users to discover. If your app is not
|
||||||
|
accepted as a Wear app, it will still be available to other device types, such as phones and
|
||||||
|
tablets, and it will still be installable on wearables.
