Secret no more: Android Canary confirms ‘Cinnamon Bun’ is Android 17’s code

[phillynews215]

TL;DR

• Strong evidence has surfaced confirming that “Cinnamon Bun” is the internal dessert codename for Android 17.
• A reference to “CINNAMON_BUN” was discovered within the code of the latest Android Canary release.
• The OS is currently using the placeholder API level 10000, but it will eventually graduate to API level 37.

Development on Android 17 is well underway, but we still don’t 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’ll be included. We’ve even heard through the grapevine that Android 17’s dessert codename is “Cinnamon Bun,” but without official confirmation, we couldn’t be sure. Fortunately, we’ve now found strong evidence confirming that “Cinnamon Bun” is indeed the internal moniker.
