description	Updates the project dependencies

Research new updates

1. Use android studio version-lookup to search for dependency, including Gradle updates # NOTE! Requires AS Quail 1+
2. Analyze libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties
3. Read the comment in libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties and honor the notes taken do decide if a dependency should be upgraded to the latest version or remain on a certain version due to compability reasons

Update dependencies

• Update all dependencies in libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties
• Always prefer stable version of dependencies, if possible
• If Gradle fails to resolve newly released versions that are confirmed to exist, use the --refresh-dependencies flag (e.g., ./gradlew assembleDebug --refresh-dependencies)
• Add comments to libs.versions.toml on the versions you decide not to update with an explanation why

Verify upgrades

1. Run ./gradlew assembleDebug and fix any compilation errors
2. Run all tests with ./gradlew test. Fix any issues caused by failing tests. Never change the tests themself.
3. Verify app start(s) 2. Start the Pixel_9_Pro_API_36 Android emulator 3. Build the app with ./gradlew assembleDebug 4. Install the build APK with adb install 5. Verify the app is running and doesn't crash

If failing to update

If you fail to update a library add or update a comment on the corresponding line in libs.versions.toml or gradle.wrapper.properties

Final step

• Summerize all changes in libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties and let the user approve them
• When approved create a commit for the changes named "Update dependencies"
• Push the changes
