What internal dessert codename did Android 13 use?

The story behind the answer

Android 13 used Tiramisu as its internal dessert codename.

Google developed Android 13 under the internal codename Tiramisu, continuing Android’s long-running tradition of assigning dessert names to releases. The name begins with “T,” matching Android 13’s alphabetical position after Android 12’s Snow Cone.

Android 13 was publicly released on August 15, 2022. During early previews, the codename appeared in developer-facing software and system interfaces, but Google’s public branding used the number 13 rather than prominently marketing the dessert name.

The nearby choices come from other Android generations. Snow Cone belongs to Android 12, Upside Down Cake to Android 14, and Vanilla Ice Cream to Android 15. This makes the dessert sequence a useful way to separate neighboring releases, even though Google later reduced the public emphasis on these names.
