GrapheneOS is well into the migration to Android 12. Many unexpected issues have cropped up and progress is going much slower than anticipated.
It's a better time than ever to start working on the project since so much work needs to be done over the next few weeks in many areas.

Starting with making a development build of Android 12 GrapheneOS for the emulator via grapheneos.org/build is the best way to start. Most of the work can be done in the emulator.
Since there aren't official releases of Android 12 yet, building for devices has extra steps.

Temporary instructions on using android-prepare-vendor with the Android 12 Beta 5 releases has been added to grapheneos.org/build#extracti…. Our recommendation is to start with the emulator target. We also haven't yet finished initial device support for all of the supported devices yet.
Device support still needs to be completed and many of the significant features still need to be ported to Android 12.
Certain features such as using full ahead-of-time compilation to fully replace the Android Runtime JIT and exec-based spawning have proven difficult to port.
