Google uses an internal name for a new Android version every year. These code names are based on desserts, just like the older Android versions were given dessert names, such as Android KitKat and Android Pie. The codename for Android 14, the version that will be launched in 2023, is now also known. Bakers ready? Bake it!
Google and desserts
Starting with Android 10, Google got rid of the names with a dessert for Android versions that corresponded to the next letter in the alphabet. Android P or Android 9 Pie was the last version in this tradition and Android Q was renamed Android 10. According to Google, using a dessert name could cause confusion worldwide, and the name Android plus a version number is easier for everyone to understand.
Google still uses desserts internally. For example, Snow Cone was the icy nickname for Android 12 and Tiramisu for Android 13. The dessert name for Android 14 has now also surfaced. 9to5Google found the name in a piece of code in the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and that name is ‘UpsideDownCake’. And that name again corresponds to the letter that is used for each Android version. For Android 14 that is the U, so Android U. The fact that the code name is known means that the development of Android 14 has started.
