Android 17's Codename: A Sweet Surprise
Android fans, brace yourselves! The latest buzz in the tech world is that Android 17's codename has been revealed, and it's a delightful twist. Get ready to indulge in a sweet surprise as we uncover the story behind this intriguing codename.
The Alphabetical Codename Conundrum
You might recall the confusion that arose when Android 16's codename, 'Baklava,' broke the long-standing alphabetical naming pattern. Android fans were left wondering where the sequence would go next. Well, it seems the tech giant has decided to continue the alphabetical journey, but with a unique twist.
Cinnamon Bun: A Leaked Delight
In August, whispers of a potential codename 'Cinnamon Bun' began circulating among tech enthusiasts. At the time, it was just a rumor, but now it has been confirmed by credible sources. Android analyst Mishaal Rahman revealed that the codename is indeed 'Cinnamon Bun,' and it's not just a rumor anymore.
Unveiling the Code
The confirmation came when the codename was found within the core code of the latest Android Canary build. Google's November release specifically mentions 'CINNAMONBUN' as a valid Android version, alongside other codenames like 'TIRAMISU,' 'UPSIDEDOWNCAKE,' and 'VANILLAICE_CREAM.' This discovery solidifies the rumor and provides exciting insights into Android 17's development.
Version Codes and API Levels
Currently, 'CINNAMON_BUN' has a version code of '10000,' which will eventually be changed to '37' to reflect the OS's API level. Android 16/Baklava, for reference, has a version code of '36.' This change will be implemented once Android 17's features and APIs are finalized, and the OS reaches platform stability in 2026.
