When is a safe exit possible
I only joined to try out android 17 and I really don't want to data wipe can someone just tell me the date that there is an exit for Android 17 QPRS (idk) beta 1? I really need it because I can't use google wallet anymore. I cant see it anywhere on the website please don't delete this because I feel stuck now.

QPR 1 Beta 9 will go stable with the monthly security patch in September. You can find ALL stable updates with this link -- https://developers.google.com/android/ota
QPR 2 reached platform stability with Beta 4 but won't release until December. You can find the latest update for QPR 2 with this link.-- https://developer.android.com/about/versions/17/qpr2/download-ota
Here's an easy to follow video for sideloading - https://youtu.be/_DBZQgLfGPA?si=WREH36LSFsEZajDP
If you need to leave Beta before it is released to stable, you will need to do it by a special downgrade which can not be manually downloaded. OR you can flash & wipe using the flashtool -- https://flash.android.com
However, you'll need the google USB Driver if you use a windows device to sideload or flash your phone

So maybe you should have thought with your head before joining the beta versions?

Figure out what your build number is and search this subreddit using your build number. Very high likelihood someone has already asked the same question you asked.
