What’s Appning on AAOS?
summary
Appning is shipping a developer payment SDK that mimics mobile billing, handles tax and invoicing, and is testable against a provided apping emulator (Android 12L/13/14 images) with a preconfigured hardware device config that models OEM profiles. The ecosystem covers 16 OEMs, over 40 brands, 24 live models and 3 million vehicles, with 237 partner apps. Templates are supported but the AOSP template host currently only exposes car apps library 1.2.0, causing template fragmentation for newer categories.
