TL;DR<\/p>\n
Strong evidence has surfaced confirming that \u201cCinnamon Bun\u201d is the internal dessert codename for Android 17.
\nA reference to \u201cCINNAMON_BUN\u201d was discovered within the code of the latest Android Canary release.
\nThe OS is currently using the placeholder API level 10000, but it will eventually graduate to API level 37.<\/p>\n
Development on Android 17<\/a> is well underway, but we still don\u2019t know much about the next major OS update. While we have an inkling about some of its potential new features, we lack concrete evidence confirming they\u2019ll be included. We\u2019ve even heard through the grapevine that Android 17\u2019s dessert codename is \u201cCinnamon Bun<\/a>,\u201d but without official confirmation, we couldn\u2019t be sure. Fortunately, we\u2019ve now found strong evidence confirming that \u201cCinnamon Bun\u201d is indeed the internal moniker.<\/p>\n While digging through the latest 2511 Android Canary release<\/a> \u2014 the latest preview build that offers a taste of future Android features \u2014 I discovered the first public mention of \u201cCinnamon Bun\u201d in Android code. Specifically, android.os.Build now lists \u201cCINNAMON_BUN\u201d as a valid Android version.<\/p>\n Mishaal Rahman \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n \u201cCINNAMON_BUN\u201d has been assigned the version code \u201c10000.\u201d This number represents the API level, a unique identifier for each Android version. Google uses API levels to clearly delineate features and behaviors, helping developers understand what\u2019s available and how system changes might affect their apps.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n Normally, Google increments the API level sequentially for each major release. Since Android 16<\/a> is API level 36, Android 17 will eventually become API level 37. However, that won\u2019t happen until the OS reaches what\u2019s called \u201cPlatform Stability\u201d next year, which is when all APIs and app-facing system behaviors are finalized. Until then, it will stick with the \u201c10000\u201d placeholder \u2014 the \u201cmagic version number\u201d for a current development build<\/a> that hasn\u2019t yet become an official release.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve known for a while that \u201cCinnamon Bun\u201d was the likely codename; the very first edition of my Authority Insights Newsletter<\/a> even mentioned it. However, since we relied on unnamed sources, some people were skeptical. This new code finding should finally put those doubts to rest.<\/p>\n We can now confirm that Cinnamon Bun is Android 17\u2019s codename, but does that change anything? Honestly, no. Google stopped publicly referring to Android versions by dessert names with Android 9 Pie<\/a> in 2018, so this remains a fun bit of trivia for hardcore Android nerds. Now, if you\u2019ll excuse me, I\u2019m going to indulge in a tasty cinnamon bun.<\/p>\n![\"Android](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Android-version-codes-from-android.os_.build_.png\"\/ "\\"Android")
