    Ever since the first version of Android was released in 2008, anyone who wanted to could access the source code of the operating system.

    However, Google has now announced that the source code will only be released twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.

    Since there are four major updates to Android each year, the source code will only be released for half of them.

    According to Google’s spokesperson, the purpose of the change is to provide developers with “code that is more stable and secure”, Android Authority reports.
