Can a Qt QML App be deployed to Android Automotive OS?

I am developing a QML-based UI using Qt Creator on Windows OS. The UI is intended for an automotive infotainment system that runs on Android Automotive OS (AAOS), which is based on a Linux kernel.

My Current Setup

Development environment: Windows OS + Qt Creator

UI Technology: QML (Qt Quick)

Target hardware: Infotainment system running Android Automotive OS

Kernel: Linux-based (AAOS)

My Questions

Is it possible to deploy a QML-based UI (developed on Windows) directly to an AAOS-based infotainment system which does not have any qt libraries and qt runtime?

Since AAOS is Android-based, do I need to:

Use Qt for Android and package the application as an APK?

Will a standard Qt/QML application (built for Linux) run on AAOS, or is it mandatory to follow the Android app model?

Are there any limitations or restrictions when running Qt-based apps on Android Automotive (e.g., permissions, system-level integration, OEM constraints)?
