Why and how to optimize your app

on YouTube ↗09m

" summary

Millions of Android apps run on ChromeOS and optimizing boosts engagement, so prioritize concrete fixes: add keyboard mouse and stylus input paths and about 90% of ChromeOS users will be covered, ship x86 native binaries rather than rely on slow translation, test on cheap Chromebooks or the Desktop Android Virtual Device in Android Studio, update manifest feature flags to avoid accidental exclusions, and use the Play Console’s new ChromeOS screenshots slot to show the large screen UI.
