That move will also free up space for additional app downloads, Google said. This week, Google also said its Google TV powered devices will take full advantage of a feature called App Hibernation, which forces apps into a state of suspension when they haven’t been opened after 30 days. For users of Google TV hardware, it means apps won’t take up as much space on a device, which will allow streamers to download even more apps to devices like the Chromecast with Google TV, which has less than 5 gigabytes (GBs) of available space for apps. Google says deploying apps as AABs will help reduce the size of downloads, allow devices to reclaim storage needed for installation once the app is ready to launch and improve security. Last November, a Google TV product manager said developers would be required to distribute their apps as an AAB file starting this month. To do this, Google TV developers are increasingly leaning on a feature called Android App Bundles (AABs), which allow developers to deploy multiple version of their apps through a single executable file via the Google Play Store. The note said Google was implementing performance changes that would see apps use around 25 percent less storage space on devices like the Chromecast with Google TV and Google TV-powered television sets. The improvements were announced in a support post published by a Google employee on Tuesday. Google is rolling out an update to its Google TV software powered by the Android TV operating system that will see performance and storage improvements across its smart TV product line.
