We're continuing to work on addressing the remaining regressions in Android 14:

We'll likely have a release available by tomorrow with fixes for both issues impacting sandboxed Google Play.

We've also made major progress on Pixel 8 / 8 Pro support.

It will be very difficult to restore ahead-of-time compilation to the way it worked before. There are significant upstream regressions in Android 14. They broke background compilation as part of the Finalizing step for updates and also broke precompiled Java/Kotlin code support.

For the moment, we're going to work on adding support for compiling apps in the background after boot and displaying a progress bar. This will avoid boots being delayed by compiling apps which is a major issue due to the background Finalizing and precompilation not working in 14.

We still need to restore precompilation and work towards it providing complete coverage to fully provide our verified boot improvements.

Android 14 fixed a bunch of information leaks between profiles which they didn't test properly and causes regressions which we're addressing.

The user profile isolation improvements in Android 14 are causing one of the sandboxed Google Play issues. Simply don't grant Location permission to sandboxed Google Play in secondary users to work around it. You don't need to grant that for working location in apps anyway.
