Starting May 2023, Google Play will require that apps built for Android TV and Google TV be uploaded as Android App Bundles (AAB) with app archiving support enabled. This is great news since TVs often have far less storage than smartphones/tablets.

TV apps that haven't transitioned to AAB may be hidden from users on "the TV surface".
