Google Moves All Android Development In-House
2025-03-26

Google has confirmed it's moving all Android development to its internal branches, meaning the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) will no longer reflect Google's complete work. This aims to streamline development and prevent merge conflicts, but doesn't change Android's open-source nature. New versions and maintenance releases will be pushed to AOSP. End users and app developers will likely see little impact; the main change is less premature exposure of unconfirmed internal information via AOSP leaks.
