@ludonaut@timetheft.rip As you're well aware if you use GrapheneOS, there are a bunch of abandoned AOSP apps which haven't had any active development for years.
Those apps are stuck in the state they were in back in Android 5 or even earlier. Many even regressed. They've had bare minimum maintenance for years which gradually ended upstream.
The issues with those apps include them not being overhauled with privacy and security improvements applied elsewhere. It includes outdated dependencies missing patches.

@ludonaut@timetheft.rip We're in the process of overhauling these apps by rewriting nearly all of the code in phases. It's becoming much higher quality code with many bugs getting fixed as part of it. That includes fixing upstream privacy and security issues which have been around for years. Vast majority of experienced developers working at tech companies are using AI. Most of the people applying to us are using them. We have to filter through people who can pass our tests but are too reliant on AI.
