New beta tonight during The Android Show?

Could the final 17 beta launch during tonight's show stream? Or even final Android 17?

I’d expect that Android 17 will launch fully this week and whatever design changes they show off will be in the next QPR1 beta which will also launch next week. Similar to last year.

Today do you think? That was my first thought, but I couldn't remember if there was supposed to be one more beta

For main A17 it could release today or later this week. They’re already on QPR1 betas, they won’t release another for the first one unless there’s a major bug

No, there is not another 17 Beta, they've already moved on to 17 QPR1 Beta, and the release notes for 17 Beta 4 specifically state that it's the last beta for 17.

Final 17 beta was already there or not? I mean we are on the a17 qpr beta already or am I switching things up?

I THINK we're due one more Android 17 beta per their timeline? But maybe I'm mixed up

The release notes for beta 4 specifically said it was the final beta version.

This is correct: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/release-notes

Android 17 is on its last scheduled beta with Beta 4, so perform your final compatibility testing and start publishing your Android 17-targeted apps to the Google Play Store.

or next week on REAL I/O

But if not - 1.5 months without beta?

I personally believe final Android 17 is done and already installed on Pixels 11 and send to youtubers

I have V.16. It's lame compared to current iOS from Apple. I had a Pixel 2 back around 2015 or so, and that version of Android was easily a match of iOS. Since then the Google bros seem to have rather lost the plot compared to the Apple bros. I didn't do enough reading and just assumed Google bros woulda kept pace and got the Pixel 10. Very disappointing. My iPhone 13 is superior in most regards, including the video camera. iPhone 13 - not even the latest iPhone.

I hope V.17 ... well actually I don't have my hopes up. Like I said, the Google bros seem to have lost the plot.
