       Hearing now that the source code release of Android 14 has been delayed to next month.This decision seems to have been made very late, as even OEMs were anticipating that the release would be today.

       OEMs are now being told that vulnerabilities detailed in the Android 14 Security Release Notes will be published on October 4, 2023, so that may be the new release date.Yes, October 4, 2023 is the same day as the Pixel 8 launch event, so if this is true, it would be the first time that the AOSP release has been pushed back to coincide with the new Pixel device launch.On the one hand: BOOOOO (if true)!On the other hand: Yay, I can stop pressing shift + F5!

       @MishaalRahman Well that sucks. Do you think it was a marketing decision?

       To be clear: Google didn't originally plan for the AOSP release of Android 14 to land on the Pixel 8 launch day. September 5, 2023 was the date they had planned FAR out in advance. I don't know exactly why there's been a delay, so I can only speculate.I also don't know how this may impact OEMs like OnePlus who plan to launch their Android 14-based updates later this month. I don't know if Google places a formal embargo on stable releases until the OS is released to AOSP.
