Second, we released the Wear OS 4 developer preview. This release involves several major changes, including a new way of building watch faces.

The new watch face format is a declarative XML format that lets you configure the appearance and behavior of watch faces. This means that you don't involve any executable code when creating your watch face, and you don't need to embed any code in your watch face APK.

The Wear OS platform takes care of the logic needed to render watch faces, so you can focus on your creative vision without worrying about code optimization or battery performance.

We've equipped Jetpack Compose with Mobile Components, Wear OS Components, and Widgets, and now we've added a TV Component to it! Also, you can now use the same underlying Jetpack Compose API on TV for things like state management.
So you can easily build beautiful and useful apps for Android TV OS with less code and more customization.
