phones and tablets. This similarity means you can modify your existing apps to also run on TV devices or create new apps based on what you already know about building apps for Android. </p> <p class="note"> <b>Important:</b> Your app must meet specific requirements to qualify as an Android TV app on Google Play. For more information, see the requirements listed in <a href="/distribute/essentials/quality/tv">TV app quality</a>. </p> <p> This guide describes how to prepare your development environment for building TV apps and the minimum required changes to enable an app to run on TV devices. </p> <p> For information about designing apps for TV, see <a href="/design/tv">Design for TV</a>.
