Did you think Google had abandoned the names of the desserts for Android? Although from Android 10 the company has stopped using its classic sweet denominations publicly, the internal developers continue to keep tradition alive. And now, The name of the Android 17 code was revealed: ¡Rollo de Canela! (Good cinnamon)
This choice maintains the alphabetical order after the surprise “Baklava” (Android 16), which broke up with the expectations of many, since we came from “Vanilla Ice Cream” (Android 15) and a dessert was scheduled with the letter “W”. Google Made said to align with its new “Trunk Stable” development model, which she introduced important changes in the search for greater stability and efficiency In the code.
Why the cinnamon roll? What implies this change in nomenclature? And above all, What tells us about Android’s future? Accompany them to Discover the secrets of the desserts (and not so sweet) behind the name of Android 17.
Cannamon Bun: The Dessert Name of Android 17
Google now uses a method called “Trunk Stable” to develop Android, in which the whole code works in a single stable branch. To mark this change, they started using letters in their internal versions: “A” in 2024 and “B” in Android 16 “Baklava” which was launched in 2025. Following the alphabet, Android 17 bears the “C”, and this is why his name is a dessert with that initial: “Cannamon Bun” or “cinnamon roll” in Spanish.
Why “cinnamon roll”? Among so many options (And after discarding the “cupcake” because it was already used in Android 1.5!), Google chose “Cannamon Bun”. It is a spongy cake, registered and with cinnamon, very popular in Europe and in the United States It is not an official public nameThe internal sources confirm that “Cinnamonbun” is the name of the code for API 37.0, which corresponds to Android 17.
And does this affect users? In reality, not much. Google will continue to promote the system as “Android 17”, but Those who try the beta versions will see the name of dessert for a while. Of course, it is likely that a giant statue of a cinnamon shot appears on the Google campus, as before it happened with the rubber bears (Jelly Bean) or women (donut).
When will Android 17 arrive? If everything follows as so far, We could see it in June 2026. Google has advanced the launch of Android 16 so that the new cell phones will start in the summer with the updated system, and it is likely that it keeps that rhythm.
