Android O Likely To Be Called Oatmeal Cookie
Soon after we got to know that Android N would be called Android Nougat (Android Nutella was fan favorite), people jumped upon Android O and started making predictions. Just in case you’re unable to list few desserts with the name O, we have got an Android O names predictions list to help you out.
Meanwhile, current favorite for Android 8.0 codename is Android Oreo. But, it might not end up making the final cut. A publication named Myce is suggesting that Android O might be called Android Oatmeal Cookie.
In an email sent to Fossbytes, Jan-Willem Aldershoff of Myce.com told us that they’ve found several references in the Android source code, which give a very strong indication that Android 8.0 will be codenamed ‘oatmeal cookie.’
“In the source code we found references to ‘oc-dev’ which is in line with former branch names used by Google,” he added. If you think for a moment, “oc” stands for “oatmeal cookie.”
Added to this development, some weeks back at Google I/O, many Oatmeal References were found in the slides presented during Google I/O 2017.
So, what’s your take on this? Is Oatmeal Cookie just an internal development name? Are you still hopeful for Android Oreo? Share your views with us.
Oreo is better than Oatmeal Cookie
True, but Android may have issues with Licensing.
why wouldn't Oreo want an entire Operating system named after their product ? it's free publicity !
As i said, oreo is a copyright name, and could pose difficult when it comes to licensing
True, but then Google can just ask for restricted reuse rights from the company who owns it, or negotiates a deal, whatever it is they do when they argue naming rights.
