Android 17’s Sweet Secret: “Cinnamon Bun” Revealed as Internal Codename

by

Google is apparently calling Android 17 “Cinnamon Bun” internally, keeping alive the company’s long-standing dessert-themed naming tradition. The name was spotted in Android Canary builds and seems tied to API level 37.

Details & Background

  • The codename CINNAMON_BUN has been found in early Android 17 builds, suggesting Google is using it internally.
  • Even though Google stopped public dessert names after Android 10, it continues using them internally for development.
  • Android 16 was internally named “Baklava,” so “Cinnamon Bun” follows the dessert-alphabet pattern.

Why It Matters

For developers and Android enthusiasts, knowing the internal codename and API level helps track features, commits, and version performance in early builds. It also reveals Google’s playful and consistent naming culture.

What to Expect Next

  • Android 17 is expected to reach platform stability by mid-2026.
  • The codename may be used in developer previews, particularly for feature-flag naming and debug tools.
  • Most users will continue seeing it simply as “Android 17” when the stable build rolls out.
