The release process for both the iOS and JavaScript SDKs has been automated such that it is possible to create a release in Github which will result in the CI server publishing the new release to Cocoapods/NPM.

We should do the same for the Android SDK.

Please refer to the documentation in the iOS SDK and in the JS SDK on how the process works

And Refer to the CircleCI config files to understand how to implement it.
