The next iteration of Android could be called "Oatmeal Cookie" according to some recently discovered references in the source code. The code contains numerous references to 'oc-dev' Android-OS, which is being tested on Google Pixel (Sailfish).
In addition to the oc-dev references found in the source code, it’s also been pointed out that there were mentions of “oatmeal_cookie” in sample code that was used in a Google I/O presentation slide. That said, Android Oreo sounds better, but chances are it probably won’t be the name of Android 8.0. What do you think Android "O" will be named?
