Well !

That is absolutely untrue.

There were no official names for Android after PIE (Android 9)

Android 10 was officially called Android Q only.

They stopped after that.
As the names are ALPHABETICALLY Progression and all of them are the name of Dessert.

Even if Android 15 has any unofficial fancy name , the name has to start with letter "W"

Official Names (ALPHABETICALLY)

Android 1.0
(2008) Android 1.5 Cupcake
(2009)Android 1.6 Donut
(2009)Android 2.0 Eclair
(2009)Android 2.2 Froyo
(2010)Android 2.3 Gingerbread
(2010)Android 3.0 Honeycomb
(2011)Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
(2011)Android 4.1 to 4.3 Jelly Bean
(2012) Android 4.4 KitKat
(2013) Android 5.0 Lollipop
(2014)Android 6.0 Marshmallow
(2015)Android 7.0 Nougat
(2016)Android 8.0 Oreo
(2017)Android 9.0 Pie

Rest of the names are not Offical Google names. They are just fan made names with the same ALPHABETICALLY aligned pattern after PIE.

Your own Gemini Search explains that Google abandoned its Android naming conversation for subsequent Android versions from Android 10

For me, No need to find the rest
It is right there in your search.

That is what I said in my first post:

Google officially stopped naming Android versions after Pie (Android 9)

Rest are the fanboy syndrome. This is just as easter egg left by Developers as a progression footprints. That has nothing to do with Google's official naming conversation.

I am a software developer myself and I do understand the phenomenon widely.

Yup you're true just internal code names! But this time it's Baklava

I also get it, brother !

The name somehow shows up on the Open Source Code.

It still doesn't make much sense
The names were all the way from Letter "B" to letter "V"
Alphabetically, in ascending order

Android 16, should be letter "W"

May be they started over again with B. But no one knows yet.

Hopefully, some clarity in future !

If you consider rooting it and have custom ROM, you can take it up to Android 12

If you want to do that, consider Lineage OS (AOSP)
