 You can safely test out release automation by creating tags that have a `-` in them; for example: `v2.0.0-rc.1`. Such Releases will be published as _prereleases_ and will not count as a stable release of your extension.

+To maximize portability of built products, this action builds Go binaries with [cgo](https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/cgo) disabled with the exception of [Android build targets](#building-for-android). To override cgo for all build targets, set the `CGO_ENABLED` environment variable:

+### Building for Android
+
+`gh-extension-precompile@v2` introduces a breaking change by disabling `android-arm64` and `android-amd64` build targets by default due to [Go external linking requirements](https://github.com/cli/gh-extension-precompile/issues/50#issuecomment-2078086299).
+
+To enable Android build targets:
+
+1. `release_android` must be set to `true`
+2. `android_sdk_version` must be set to a targeted [Android API level](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platforms)
+3. `android_ndk_home` must be set to the path to Android NDK installed on Actions runner
+
+   `cli/gh-extension-precompile` will use pre-installed Android tools on GitHub-managed runners by default; self-hosted runners will need to install and configure this input.
+
+   _For more information on Android NDK installed on GitHub-managed runners, see [`actions/runner-images`](https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2404-Readme.md#android)_
+
+### Customizing the build process for Go extensions
+
+If you need to customize the build process for your Go extension, you can provide a custom build script. See [Extensions written in other compiled languages](#extensions-written-in-other-compiled-languages) below for instructions.
