Walkthrough

GitHub Actions workflows are migrated to macOS runners, action versions are updated (checkout v6.0.1, setup-java v5.1.0), and Java version is upgraded from 17 to 21. The publish workflow is renamed from "Snapshot" to "Release" with specific Gradle task exclusions added.

Summary

GitHub Actions workflow updates \.github/workflows/android\.yml \.github/workflows/publish\.yml

Both workflows updated: runners migrated from ubuntu-latest to macos-latest; checkout action updated to v6.0.1; setup-java action updated to v5.1.0; Java version increased from 17 to 21. android.yml: trigger branches changed from main to wildcard for pull_request events; Gradle distribution and settings adjusted. publish.yml: job name changed from "Snapshot build and publish" to "Release build and publish"; grant permission step removed; release build and publish steps now include specific Gradle task exclusions for benchmarks and documentation generation.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 2 (Simple) | ⏱️ ~10–15 minutes

• Verify Java 21 compatibility with all project dependencies and plugins
• Confirm macOS runner has necessary Android SDK and build tools pre-configured
• Validate that the new Gradle exclusions (benchmarks, documentation generation) are correct and don't inadvertently skip required tasks

Poem

🐰 From ubuntu's plains to macos heights we soar,
Java twenty-one powers the build like never before,
Workflows renewed with versions fresh and bright,
Benchmarks excluded, tasks aligned just right,
Our CI/CD pipeline hops toward release night! 🚀
