Unity and Android. How yo manage build pipelines?

Question

I need help with Unity and Android. I am familiar with Android development (Android Studio + Gradle) and I just started to learn Unity. I have exported my game as Android project and I was able to import it in Android Studio. There are still some missing parts in the pipeline that I still not get:

Every time I need a fix in Unity I need to export the project again?
Is there any kind of documentation that describes the full process with details?
How to integrate google play services? I found this online: https://github.com/playgameservices/play-games-plugin-for-unity. Is this the right/best way?
What if I want to use a custom android library? How to integrate it in Unity?

Thanks.

You can build for android directly from Unity.
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/android-sdksetup.html then https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/mobile-touch/building-your-unity-game-android-device-testing
Yes this is the right way (as far as I know).
You can build your own custom android library (https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/PluginsForAndroid.html) or use other third party libraries. Just put them (.aar or .jar files) in 'Assets\Plugins\Android' folder.

Thanks for the reply, ok for the point 2 but what happen if after release the game I need to fix some bugs... Do I need to export the "android project" again?
