for PRs we use ci/Jenkinsfile.android, if you wish to perform a manual
android build you may use
https://ci.status.im/job/status-desktop/job/systems/job/android/job/arm64/job/package/build?delay=0sec

 ### What Happens Behind the Scenes
-- The build process uses GitHub Actions containers to ensure consistent builds
-- All required tools and dependencies are provided by the container
-- The built APK is copied from the container to the local `bin` directory
+- The build process uses the same pre-built Docker image as the CI pipeline (`harbor.status.im/status-im/status-desktop-build:1.0.6-qt6.9.2-android`)
+- All required tools and dependencies (Qt 6.9.2, Android SDK/NDK, Go, Nim) are provided by the container
+- The container runs on linux/amd64 platform for consistency, even on ARM macOS machines
+- The built APK/AAB is available in the `mobile/bin/android/qt6/` directory
