The release schedule for new Android operating system versions can vary, but historically, Google has released a major new version of Android every year. Typically, a new version of Android is announced in the summer or early fall, and the final release is made available to the public a few months later.

In recent years, Google has also released smaller updates and security patches more frequently throughout the year, in addition to the major annual releases. These smaller updates often include bug fixes and minor feature enhancements.

It's worth noting that not all Android devices will receive every new version of the operating system, as device manufacturers and carriers may choose to customize the software or only offer updates for certain devices. Additionally, older devices may not be able to run the latest versions of Android due to hardware limitations.

It is yearly, the operating system is developed by Google on a yearly cycle since at least 2011.
