Android closes: what actually means a change in operating system technology

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/46/87/IB-FR93SAO9O_DFBB134E9.jpg" Alt = "Android closes: what actually means a change in OS technology"/> ~ ~ ~ < p > Google changes the approach to developing Android, translating all the work into the inner branch. Previously, manufacturers have borrowed the main capabilities of OS from AOSP open code, but now the updates will be published only after the new versions of Android.

< P > AOSP develops thanks to extraneous developers, but the main control remains Google. The company decides which code will be included in the platform and supports two branches of development: public and internal. However, the public version is often behind, and Google spends resources on synchronization of change. To optimize the process, the company decided to completely switch to internal development.

< P > This does not mean that Android will become a closed system. Google will continue to publish the source code of new versions of OS and Linux core for Android, but the frequency of updates for individual components will change. For ordinary users, this will almost not affect & ndash; The new approach will only improve the stability and speed of development.

< p > for applications will not change, since the process of creating programs will remain the same. However, AOSP's extraneous enthusiasts may face difficulties: without Google Mobile Services (GMS), it will be difficult for them to make changes to Android, as open code will be updated with a few weeks or months delayed.
