For anyone thinking about doing this, here are some free release note templates:

"Bug fixes and stability improvements"

"Thank you for using <X>! For your benefit, we update <X> continuously. Every updates for <X> potentially includes new features, bug fixes and other improvements. Don't hesitate to reach out to noreply@<X>app.com if you have any questions or suggestions."

"Bedankt dat je <X> gebruikt! Bij het invullen van de releasenotes heeft onze stagiair niet opgelet en per ongeluk de verkeerde taal geplakt. Geen probleem. We hopen dat je van deze nieuwe versie geniet!"

(For the longest time, the Dutch Facebook Messenger app had release notes in some Scandinavian language.)

A lot of popular iOS apps are doing this, which I personally find extremely annoying.
I would reckon that the average user doesn't care for a list of specific bug fixes.
So many big apps (including some from Google themselves) have such a line permanently bolted to them over at Android as well.
