Is Horizon OS an Android-compatible implementation (meets the CDD and passes CTS)?
Hi all — quick licensing question about using **Android Studio / the Android SDK** for Horizon OS development.
The Android SDK License says it may be used only for “compatible implementations of Android,” meaning devices that **comply with the Compatibility Definition Document (CDD)** and **pass the Compatibility Test Suite (CTS)** (see the overview: [https://source.android.com/docs/compatibility/overview](https://source.android.com/docs/compatibility/overview)).
I assume this is fine because **Meta publishes official guidance for using Android Studio with Horizon OS**, but I’d like to make sure the licensing is clear.
**Questions:**
- Has Meta publicly stated that Horizon OS **meets the CDD** and **passes CTS**?
2. If yes, could you share a link to any **official documentation** (announcement, compatibility statement, certification, CTS result, etc.)?
3. If there’s no public statement, what is Meta’s guidance on using the **Android SDK** to develop for Horizon OS in light of the SDK License terms?
