The Android 13‘s season is over now and Android 14 has begun its era bringing in a lot of functionalities and aesthetics to Android. Meanwhile, some details of Android 15 just surfaced online.
Android 15 is the dessert for 2024
Android has a long history of naming its major updates after dessert, which continues down the alphabet. From Android Cupcake in 2009 to Android Pie in 2018, Google had a lot of fun advertising these dessert names and putting them in the version name.
This changed with Android 10, which began with the challenging character “Q” and was eventually replaced with a simple digit. Yet, Google has continued to refer to each release as a dessert, including Android 10’s “Queen’s Cake.”
Google will release Android 14 later this year, with the dessert code name “Upside Down Cake” as we’ve long suspected. As of 2024, with the expected release of Android 15, it appears that Google has already reserved a dessert for the letter V, as discovered by teamb58 and shared by Mishaal Rahman.
Android’s “Tradefed” (or “Trade Federation”) testing framework has been upgraded with a new version that makes clear reference to Android 15’s “Vanilla Ice Cream” code name in a sequence of code modifications. Of course, the code name usually doesn’t reveal much about what we might anticipate from an Android version. As a result, we’ll most likely have to wait a while longer to discover what Android 15 Vanilla Ice Cream has in store for us. Yet, we’re only now getting a taste of Android 14’s Upside Down Cake, with the first preview released less than a month ago.
