Poll: What do you think Android 17's dessert codename will be?

Google has a fun tradition of codenaming Android versions after desserts in alphabetical order. In the early days of Android, these dessert codenames were part of the Android name/branding. However, with Android 10’s release in 2019, Google dropped the codename from the public name, even though it has continued to use the dessert codename internally. Android 15 is internally called Vanilla Ice Cream, whereas Android 16 is called Baklava. With Android 16 out for a while now, and Android 16 QPR1 also on the horizon, it got us wondering: What would Android 17 be called?

To start, here’s a brief history of all the Android dessert codenames so far:

Since Android 1.5 Cupcake in 2009, Google has diligently used dessert codenames alphabetically. The company finally broke its tradition with Android 16, which should have started with a dessert codename that began with “W.” Instead, Android 16 jumped to “B” with Baklava. The reason for this is Android’s trunk stable project, which my colleague Mishaal explains in better detail when he revealed Android 16’s dessert codename.

Assuming Android 16 is a good baseline, Android 17’s codename will very likely be a dessert that begins with the letter “C.” Do you have any guesses on what it could be?

I’ve compiled a few popular dessert codenames in the poll above for you to vote on, but feel free to sound off other desserts that start with C in the comments below!

If you ask me, Android 17 would be pretty sweet as Churro, but I can also see why it could be Cheesecake or Choco-chip cookie too. I will judge those who go for Crepe, as it can be sweet or savory, and that’s practically breakfast territory if you ask me.
