How to create a release android library package (aar) in Android Studio (not debug)

Question

I have built my android library package (aar) and the result of build is created in "..appuildoutputsaar" folder. The file within this folder is called "app-debug.aar" so I guess it has been built in debug mode so I would like to know how to genereate the release built, that is, "app-release.aar". How can I do this? Also, is it possible to genereate the build with another custom name, for example, "myCustomAppName-release.aar" instead of "app-release.aar".

In Android Studio 1.2+, there is a complete gradle menu that lists all of the available gradle tasks.

I found this menu on the right side of the IDE with default options enabled.

Right click the task you want and click "Run".
