August 2025 focused on release readiness and versioning across two AzureAD Android libraries. For microsoft-authentication-library-for-android, prepared the 7.0.0 release: updated the changelog, bumped versionName to 7.0.0 and versionCode to 0, added a patch entry for common library updates, and aligned release branches into development. For microsoft-authentication-library-common-for-android, prepared the 22.0.0 release: updated to version 22.0.0, added a changelog entry, merged release changes back into development, and updated version property files. No major bugs were fixed this month; the work focused on strengthening the release process, versioning consistency, and traceability. Technologies demonstrated include Android Gradle versioning, changelog management, Git release workflows, and cross-repo collaboration. Business value: accelerates time-to-market, reduces release risk, and improves customer confidence through consistent, well-documented releases across libraries.
