The wait is over: Android 16 QPR1’s source code is now available on AOSP

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• The source code for Android 16 QPR1 is now available on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) after a weeks-long delay.
• This release gives developers access to the code for new features like Material 3 Expressive and Desktop Mode.
• Custom ROM projects such as LineageOS can now rebase their work on the new code to incorporate these QPR1 features.

When Google released the Android 16 QPR1 update for Pixel devices in early September, its source code was conspicuously absent. This was unusual, as Google traditionally publishes the source code for new Android versions within a day or two of their release. After telling Android Authority it would release the code “in the coming weeks,” the company has now made good on that promise.
