Use the unchecked items in this roadmap as the starting point, especially the branch scripts getBranchName.sh, analysis-wrapper.sh, and detectWrongSettings.sh. Review build.gradle and /fastlane/metadata/android/en-US/changelogs/, then run the listed Android-version checks. Done means the remaining RC1, final-release, and post-release checklist items are verified.
