The GitHub Action that will run when we push the code will spin up an Ubuntu virtual machine, and it will configure it accordingly (will install Java version 17 on it)

Next, it will run the steps one after another.

build the code,
run the tests,
generate an aab
sign it
deploy it to Google Play

Once all these operations are done, the VM gets shut down, and released.

Please do not hesitate to ask more questions if that's the case, I'm happy to answer them
