"Google has confirmed the aptX codec is supported in Android O. We also got this screenshot from a commenter below (thanks!) showing the aptX, aptX HD, and Sony LDAC codecs in developer options. So, this is as confirmed as it gets"

 
I just flashed the Android "O" preview on my Google Pixel XL and aptX is supported & working right out of the box.  :good:
No mods necessary.  All I did was log into my Google account, install Pandora to test with and bam, aptX works.  Even my aptX headphones recognizes it's using an aptX connection.  
See pics below for proof.  
 
Thank you, Google and Android Author Pavlin Radoslavov.

Yup, I get LDAC with my Sony headphones on my Pixel XL now. I am switching carriers, and that is one thing that I'll miss with an S8+ (and I'll not get LDAC most likely even after the 8.0 update to that phone, because Samsung implements their own bluetooth stack).
