Answer 1

Yet another 2 part question where nobody answers the second part...

For the future generations, here are simple answers:

Part 1 How to create release only *release.aar ?

Run in android studio terminal (or any terminal in your project folder).:

./gradlew assembleRelease

You don`t need signing config for such task.

Part 2 How to rename the output library to AnotherLibraryName-release.aar ?

Add to your module gradle.build :

android{
    project.archivesBaseName = "AnotherLibraryName"
}
