Always prefer GITHUB_TOKEN with permissions: contents: write for GitHub release actions unless you have a specific need for a custom token.

  - name: Create Release (GitHub CLI)
        id: create_release_cli
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        run: |
          echo "Attempting release creation with GitHub CLI"
          gh release create v1.0.${{ github.run_number }} ./build/app/outputs/apk/release/*.apk \
            --title "Release v1.0.${{ github.run_number }}" \
            --notes "Release created by GitHub Actions"
        continue-on-error: true

You use the GitHub CLI (gh release create) with:

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
