-1. Build the framework as described above.
-2. Commit the result.
-3. Tag this commit with the new release version, (following semantic versioning).
-4. Push the commit and tag to the remote repository.
+#### Using CI
+
+**pre-requisites**: you need to be a repo maintainer
+
+
+1. as a *maintainer* pull the the latest changes from main.
+2. branch to a new release. Example: to create release 0.0.1
+create a new branch called `release-0.0.1` using `git checkout -b release-0.0.1`
+3. update the rust/Cargo.toml file with the new SemVer number matching the
+release format. if it's already updated and you will need to generate another
+file changte, that's why you can update the VERSION.txt file.
+4. push your changes to the remote branch and open a pull request.
+5. The `release.yml` workflow should be executed. this will build
+the project and create a github release with the version number provided
+in the branch name, containing the artifacts and generated release notes 
+by making a diff of the commits from the latest tag to this one.
+
+#### manually
+**pre-requisite:** update the version numbers on rust/Cargo.toml and VERSION.txt with the SemVer version that you will use. 
+1. tag the commit to the remote repository
+2. run `make xcframework`
+3. get the xcframework.zip located inside products and get the sha256 using `shasum -a 256 products/libzcashlc.xcframework.zip | cut -d ' ' -f 1`
+4. don't commit the binaries to github!!!
+5. create a new Github release using the website or the Github CLI
+6. make sure to include the `libzcashlc.xcframework.zip` file and the checksum in the release notes
