Is there a way to send a completed build from a GitHub Action to a release?

Question

I would like to push a build that was completed on a GitHub action workflow using this code:

name: Build
on: [pull_request, push]
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout the code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Build the app
        run: ./gradlew build

Currently this works for building the app and updating a status badge, but I would like the apk file from this build to be pushed directly as a pre-release. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible.

If you want to make a GitHub release containing the file, there are a lot of GitHub actions. This action - automatic-releases, I think can do the work for you.

This action simplifies the GitHub release process by automatically uploading assets, generating changelogs, handling pre-releases, and so on.

As I see you use Gradle, you can check the GitHub docs for publishing-java-packages-with-gradle
