Effective in 2026, to align with our trunk stable development model and ensure platform stability for the ecosystem, we will publish source code to AOSP in Q2 and Q4. For building and contributing to AOSP, we recommend utilizing android-latest-release instead of aosp-main. The android-latest-release manifest branch will always reference the most recent release pushed to AOSP. For more information, see Changes to AOSP.

AAOS platform and device makers can use
Android
Emulator and
Android Virtual Device (AVD)
to develop apps without needing hardware. Android Emulator can run the entire
Android architecture with different Android
AVD images. You can set up an AVD for:
- New development. When starting new development of an In-Vehicle Infotainment
(IVI) device, learn how to create a virtual device so that teams can develop HMI and apps
early without waiting for new hardware.
- Updates to preloaded apps. To frequently share new virtual devices so that
apps, quality assurance, and user experience teams can quickly access the latest and
greatest updates.
To learn more about using the Android Virtual Device as a development platform, see:
