Overview

Google announced the Connected Apps Platform preview on October 28, 2026. Developers connect through a cloud-hosted MCP server or Android MCP using the AppFunctions APIs, register, test and submit apps in the Google Connected Console, and choose before review whether the app goes live in Search, the Gemini app or both. After launch they can track traffic, latency and error rates and keep control of brand identity with verified logos and authenticated accounts. More than 50 Connected Apps have launched; Adobe, Experian, Localiza and Peloton are live in Gemini with Search integration coming in the following weeks, and Calm launches in both. Access is opening in phases.
