There won’t be a December 2023 Google Play System Update

Google Play System Updates are updates for your device that you probably didn’t know existed. Google Play System Updates are another word for Project Mainline module updates and are not to be confused with Google Play Services updates. Google releases a Google Play System Update roughly every month, but the company has confirmed that one is not going to be released for December 2023.

As Mishaal Rahman points out, Google employees have mentioned in the ART Google Issue Tracker that there will not be a December 2023 Google Play System Update. The next Google Play System Update will be rolled out in January 2024. This update will bring an update to the Android Runtime (ART) module that fixes an internal Garbage Collector-related crash that some apps with native code face.
