To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to an android application git repo
2. Setup building, signing, and distributing to Android Play Store on a branch
3. Create a comit message with more than 500 characters
4. Push
5. See error

Expected behavior
The release note placeholder specifically states:

Let your users know what's new! If you want to always use your latest commit message, simply leave this as it is.

I would expect two things:

• The 500 char limitation should be mentionned in the placeholder (noting that it only affects Android Play Store)
• The publication module should truncate the release message to 500 char to make sure it does not fail

Hi, the issue has been fixed. And you can again and we are now truncating release notes if the field is left blank.
