-## Ideas for improvements
-
-We could simplify the process quite a bit by publishing the Android binaries to npm. This will increase the size of the npm package by about 3.3MB. To do that: after `installArchives`, move the binaries to somewhere where `npm publish` will pick them up. Then, change the `build.gradle` file(s) of your generated app so that Gradle will pick up the binaries from `node_modules`. This will likely also **fix issues with incompatible versions of JS and Android binaries** (e.g. [#4488](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4488)).
-
-## Publish a release (same steps for an rc version, 0.x.0)
-
-Publish to Maven Central (Note: **We could get rid of this whole section by publishing binaries to npm instead**):
-  - Log into Sonatype and go to [Staging upload](https://oss.sonatype.org/#staging-upload). You'll need to get permissions for this by filing a ticket explaining you're a core contributor to React Native. [Example ticket](https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-11885).
-  - Select Artifact(s) with a POM (to publish to a local Maven repo for testing run `./gradlew :ReactAndroid:installArchives`)
-  - Add all files: .aar, sources jar, javadoc jar, .asc for everything (including the POM file)
-  - Wait a few hours until you see the version has propagated to [JCenter](https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter/com.facebook.react%3Areact-native/view)
-
-To release to npm:
-
-(You need to be a maintainer of the repo. For admins, here's the command to promote someone)
-
-```
-npm owner add <user> react-native
-```
-
-```
-git tag v0.version_you_are_releasing.0-rc 0.version_you_are_releasing-stable # don't forget the `v` at the beginning!
-git push --tags
-```
-
-- Publish to npm
-
-```
-npm set registry https://registry.npmjs.org/
-npm publish
-# *Only* when doing a non-rc release:
-# npm dist-tag add react-native@0.non_rc_version.0 latest
-```
-- Upgrade tags to a release by going to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/tags
-- Click "Add Notes to release"
-- Click Publish
