 ## Development Resources
 
 This is a [React Native](https://reactnative.dev/) application, written in the TypeScript programming language. It builds on the `atproto` TypeScript packages (like [`@atproto/api`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@atproto/api)), which are also open source, but in [a different git repository](https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto).

+# Android CI builds
+
+Android builds are done via CI to avoid EAS (expo) and are published via releases to avoid artifact expiry and allow [obtainium](https://obtainium.imranr.dev/) to download and auto-update the app.
+
+- "Catsky build" is for testing/etc NOT for release as these artifacts will expiry and won't be pushed out to obtainium users
+- "Catsky release" is for production and will be pushed out to obtainium users and artifacts won't expire
