Make sure to replace `x.y.z` by the version to which you want to set your files. Then remember to uncomment the `<parent>` specification again.

+Next, make sure to upgrade the versions in the `AndroidManifest.xml` files of the three apps we're currently shipping. The `android:versionCode` specifier is relevant for the PlayStore pushing the update to the users. The `android:versionName` is just a symbolic name which users will see (other than the `android:versionCode` which is not usually displayed to users). For the `android:versionName` we try to use a reasonable versioning scheme that should be independent of our internal rel-x.y numbering and the sequential, technical versionCode. Example: 1.1.

In order to get the Android release branch merged into the ``rel-x.y`` branch, the same process as explained above for the merge of iOS branches into ``fa/rel-x.y`` is required. In particular, this means that a Java Correction Workbench Correction Request [needs to be created](https://css.wdf.sap.corp/sap/bc/bsp/spn/jcwb/default.htm?newCMForProject=sapsailingcapture&newCMComponentName=SV-COE-MSO-CDP) and the latest commit to be pushed to ``refs/for/rel-x.y`` needs to be amended so that it contains a valid ``Change-Id:`` and ``CR-Id:`` line. Then, the commit needs to be voted on. Other than for the MiOS branches under ``fa/rel-x.y`` it seems to be required that _another_ committer votes with +2 to enable a merge. Once this has been done, the blue ``Submit`` button will appear on your change page (something like [https://git.wdf.sap.corp/#/c/1436212/](https://git.wdf.sap.corp/#/c/1436212/)) that you can use to technically get the commit merged into the ``rel-x.y`` branch.

Once this is done, a [Customer release build can be started](https://xmake-ldi.wdf.sap.corp:8443/view/SAPSail/job/sapsailingcapture-Release/). Select ``customer`` as the ``RELEASE_MODE`` and enter the ``rel-x.y`` branch name in the "TREEISH" field, make sure the Maven version 3.1.1 is selected and click the "Build" button. If the build succeeds, Final Assembly should be able to _promote_ the build artifact, such as the ``.apk`` files which should have been signed using the SAP certificate.
