Android stops open sourcing? Google: Simplifying development is not closing the source, will continue to release source code

For many years, the development process of Google's Android system has been open to the public, allowing outsiders to view Google's progress. However, this is about to change. On March 27th, according to an article by Android expert Mishaal Rahman published on the niche site Android Authority, Google confirmed that starting next week, it will begin developing the Android operating system entirely behind closed doors within its internal branches. This move is aimed at simplifying the development of the Android operating system. However, Google also emphasized that Android will not become a closed-source system. The company will continue to release the source code for new Android versions and keep it open to the public. Mishaal Rahman pointed out in the article that this change will have minimal impact on ordinary users and application developers. The only group affected will be third-party developers contributing code to AOSP, who may find it more difficult to track Google's changes to Android. For many Android phone manufacturers, the impact is also limited, as they have long signed agreements with Google and do not use AOSP, so various Google services will continue to be provided normally
