Google TV Mandates 64-bit Support for Apps

Google announced that starting August 1, 2026, all apps on Google TV and Android TV platforms must support 64-bit architecture and be compatible with 16KB memory page sizes. This means developers must update their apps to include arm64 native code; otherwise, apps won't be accepted on Google Play. The move aims to improve performance, reduce startup times, and prepare for future hardware. Google recommends developers start checking and updating their app code now to ensure compliance.
