1.What is Google‘s TADA Protocol, and How Does It Relate to Android TV Certification?

TADA is one of the protocols within Google‘s GMS certification. Google has introduced various protocols for different products, including TADA, MADA, EDLA, and GAS protocols. Each protocol is designed for specific types of products.

Devices using the Android system require Google‘s GMS certification to use various Google applications such as the Google Play Store, Maps, Search, YouTube, etc. To achieve GMS certification, relevant protocols, including TADA, must be in place before applying to Google. Without these protocols, certification cannot be obtained.

Therefore, for Android TV to be certified by Google, it first needs to comply with the TADA protocol. After Google approval, various documents, such as the GTVS package for TV products, are submitted to complete the certification application.
