AOSP Source Delays Force Developers to Disassemble Libraries for Bug Reports

Original: AOSP Source Releases Are So Late Developers Disassemble Libraries to Report Bugs

Android's open-source code releases are falling so far behind shipped Android versions that developers cannot match bugs to source. Some are now disassembling compiled NDK libraries just to diagnose and report issues, since the matching AOSP source for the binaries they target has not been published. Developers say the lag makes upstream bug reporting impractical and undermines the point of open-source releases.

Why now: A fresh GitHub issue on the Android NDK tracker has drawn attention to how far AOSP source releases lag behind shipped binaries.
