Since Android 12 already reached platform stability last month, any new APIs that need to be added have to wait until the next release, which would otherwise be Android 13. It's possible that Google plans to release its upcoming Pixel Fold device soon with this new OS version and all the new foldable features therein, so they couldn't just wait for next year's Android 13 release as that would push back the phone's release. While we don't have the complete picture yet, we've seen evidence that Google is adding new APIs and features aimed at improving the foldable phone experience. The next thing you may be wondering about is why a point release is even necessary, considering Google hasn't released one since Android 8.1 Oreo in 2017. Thus, we've taken to calling the upcoming interim release Android 12.1, but it may end up being marketed as something else. Comments from Googlers suggest that interim release is code-named "sc-v2", which we believe is short for "Snow Cone v2." Snow Cone, by the way, is the rumored dessert name for Android 12, a convention that Google publicly dropped a few years ago but their engineers still follow internally. For reference, the API level corresponding to Android 12 is 31, so if Android 13 corresponds to API level 33, then that means API level 32 must correspond to some interim release. Our first hint came from code changes submitted to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) Gerrit, which bumped the API level for Android 13 from 32 to 33.
