| # Releasing |
| |
| The MDC-iOS release process takes places whenever a significant body of work |
| needs to be made generally available, but typically once a week. The release |
| process follows a set of general steps: |
| |
| 1. A `release-candidate` branch is created and a Pull Request is created. |
| 2. The CHANGELOG and library version number are updated. |
| 3. The release is copied into Google for internal testing. |
| 4. Any unexpected breakages or problems are fixed immediately or reverted. |
| 5. The release is published to GitHub and CocoaPods. |
| |
| If you have any questions about the release process in general, [please open an |
| Issue for the project |
| maintainers](https://github.com/material-components/material-components-ios/issues/new/choose). |
