Updates the Android build.gradle.kts release signing example to use safe casts (as? String) instead of unsafe casts (as String). This prevents Gradle configuration from crashing on debug builds when key.properties is absent.

Fixes #11995

Code Review

This pull request refines the Android deployment documentation by improving phrasing, punctuation, and formatting, as well as updating a Kotlin Gradle configuration snippet to use safe casts (as? String) instead of unsafe casts. The reviewer suggests a further improvement to use the standard getProperty(key) method on the Properties object, which is more idiomatic and avoids the need for casting.
