Google Is Closing Up Android Development

longshots · Mar 28, 2025

As with all things privatized, this is good news for Google, the company that operates Android. It streamlines Android development so that the company doesn’t have to worry about managing two sets of source code and fielding comments while working on the next version of Android. It’s good news for users, too, because it means there won’t be two versions of Android floating out in the ether while it’s in development. It can be confusing to navigate between the internal branch of Android source code, which Google passes out to the brands under Google Mobile Services (GMS) agreements, and the public Android Open Source Project (AOSP), which anyone and any manufacturer can use.
