• No action is needed.
  minifyEnabled, shrinkResources, proguardFile already configured for release buildType in flutter.groovy
• No need to upload Native Debug Symbols.
  libapp.so and libflutter.so already included in App Bundle at /base/lib/<arch-variants>/.
  Adding android.defaultConfig.ndk.debugSymbolLevel = 'FULL' to build.gradle has no effect in size of the App Bundle.
  This might only require if we have any extra Native library.
• No need to upload deobfuscation mapping files.
  proguard.map already included in App Bundle at /BUNDLE-METADATA/com.android.tools.build.obfuscation/.
