+
+## Building for release
+
+To build the app for publishing, you need to sign it. Follow these steps:
+
+### Step 1: Create or use an existing keystore
+
+Before building the app, you must have a keystore. You can either create a new one or use an existing keystore.
+
+#### Creating a keystore
+
+You can create a keystore directly from Android Studio:
+
+1. Go to **Menu** > **Build** > **Generate Signed APK**.
+2. Select the option to create a new keystore.
+3. **Remember the passwords and the key alias** for future use.
+
+#### Using an existing keystore
+
+If you already have a keystore, ensure it is named `release_keystore.keystore` and placed in the following folders:
+- `app`
+- `wear`
+
+Alternatively, you can specify a custom location by setting the `KEYSTORE_PATH` environment variable.
+
+---
+
+### Step 2: Build the app
+
+You can build the app using either Android Studio or the command line (CLI).
+
+#### From Android Studio
+
+1. Open Android Studio.
+2. Go to **Menu** > **Build** > **Generate Signed APK**.
+3. Select the keystore you created or an existing one.
+4. Follow the steps to build the app.
+
+#### From the CLI
+
+1. **Set environment variables**  
+   Define the following environment variables used in `app/build.gradle.kts`:
+   - `KEYSTORE_PASSWORD`
+   - `KEYSTORE_ALIAS`
+   - `KEYSTORE_ALIAS_PASSWORD`
+   - `KEYSTORE_PATH` (if your keystore is located in a custom location)
+
+2. **Build the app**  
+   To build the APK, run:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew assembleRelease # To build all the apps
+   # OR
+   ./gradlew :<GRADLE_MODULE>:assembleRelease # To build a specific module, such as :app, :automotive, or :wear
+   ```
+
+   To build the AAB, run:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./gradlew bundleRelease # To build all the apps
+   # OR
+   ./gradlew :<GRADLE_MODULE>:bundleRelease # To build a specific module, such as :app, :automotive, or :wear
+   ```
