+# Release
+
+To make an Android release, do the following:
+
+* Update `CHANGELOG.md` in a pull request
+  * Add a section title containing the version which should be released, e.g. `## 9.6.0 - December 18, 2022`
+  * Remove the `* Add your pull request...` entries
+  * Add a new `main` section at the top of the changelog
+
+* Once the changelog update pull request was merged, tag the commit:
+  * Create a tag locally, e.g. `git tag -a android-v9.6.0 -m "Release android-v9.6.0"`
+  * You need write access to push the tag, e.g. `git push --atomic origin main android-v9.6.0`
+
+* Due to maven timeouts, the `android-release.yml` workflows currently needs a self-hosted runner
+  * Go to https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/settings/actions/runners
+  * Press "New self-hosted runner"
+  * Spin up a self-hosted Linux x64 runner
+  * Make sure the runner has the tags `Linux` and `self-hosted`
+
+* Once the tag is pushed, you can run the `release-android.yml` workflow
+  * Go to https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/actions
+  * Press `android-release`
+  * Press `Run workflow` from the `main` branch
