Dalvik hasn't been used on Android for more than 4 years (since Android 5): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalvik_(software)

Looks like things are still compiled to Dalvik bytecode for distribution, but get recompiled to native code upon installation. I didn't know that; I don't follow Adnroid closely, so the particulars of the runtime aren't something I'm familiar with. Still, TIL. Thanks!

They added another JIT too. So first pass is the AOT installation binary, but it'll JIT traces too.
