Upgrade App Skill

This skill automates the multi-step process of preparing and publishing a new app release.

Workflow

1. Analyze Current State: Check app/build.gradle.kts for the current versionCode and versionName.
2. Increment Versions:
   • versionCode: +1
   • versionName: Major/Minor/Patch update as requested.
3. Fastlane Changelog: Create a new file in fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/ named after the new versionCode.
4. Git Commit: Commit all changes with the format build: <versionName> + <versionCode>.
5. GitHub Release: Use gh release create to tag the commit and create a release with notes.
