When will you release Apple Music for Android Automotive OS

Hi

Just bought a new EV, Polestar 2 that comes with Android Automotive OS deeply integrated in the car. Please note that Android Automotive isn't the same as Android Auto. Two different systems.


I'm an Apple guy and I'm wondering when you will release Apple Music for this platform. Can see in Google Play Store that I can download Apple Music for Android devices so can you please look into this matter.


Thanks

I changed now to Tidal, runs perfectly on all of my devices, even on the Apple Watch. Downloaded the app for the PS2 directly in the car, entered the login code, done. Works like a charm. Then I migrated my music library with a ugly tool (soundiiz?) once and since then I enjoy my music in the car like at home. Apple, I know that you won’t read, but: Shame on you. I will not come back. There are still 2 members in my family plan which have to create own accounts, then I will cancel my subscription, bye, bye.

I guess that the port of Apple Music to Android Automotive would cost 5 working days. 0.1 days for porting the software and 4.9 for tests and build.


I think Apple just does not want to. Because Android Automotive is ugly or it does not fit into some political thing. Or something like this.


@Apple: I have a Polestar 2, too. I would love to see Apple Music as a native app in the car. What's the reason you just don't port it?

I had Tidal for some time but the app is buggy. Will never resume playing music where I left off. Have to start all over every time. The. Tidal app is several years old and hasn't had an upgrade for years. I contacted Tidal support 6 month ago about the bud. Noting has happened yet. So I just cancelled my subscription once again and for now I'm using Apple Music via Bluetooth in the car. Not a great option but will expect Appel CarPlay to be available soon.
