We've received the Pixel 8a for our device testing farm already even though it officially ships May 14th.

Both Android Open Source Project source code tags and stock OS factory images / updates will likely be published on May 14th. We'll need those to add GrapheneOS support.

They typically ship pre-ordered devices a few days early to provide most people with an estimated delivery date on the launch day. It's a bit odd they don't publish everything on the day they ship instead of the planned arrival day since many do arrive early. It's fine with us.

Today, we're going to be adding support for the Pixel 8a in Auditor along with generating and backing up official GrapheneOS signing keys which are separate for each device for security reasons. We can't do much else before the official launch day when the code is published.
