AOSP Source Releases So Late Developers Disassemble Libraries to Find Bugs

Original: AOSP Source Releases Are So Late Developers Disassemble Libraries to Report Bugs https:// github.com/android/ndk/issues/

Android developers say official AOSP source releases now lag so far behind shipped native libraries that some are reverse-engineering compiled code just to understand and report bugs. The frustration is playing out in the Android NDK issue tracker, where contributors describe trying to fix crashes without matching source code. The complaint has drawn broad attention in developer communities.

Why now: A new discussion highlighting the widening gap between Android's published source code and its shipped binaries has struck a chord with developers.
