description	Updates the project dependencies

1. Research new updates

1. Use https://gradle.org to search for Gradle updates, including Gradle plugins
2. Use https://mvnrepository.com to search for dependency updates
3. Analyze libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties
4. Read the comment in libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties and honor the notes taken to decide if a dependency should be updated to it's latest version or remain on a certain version for compatibility reasons

2. Update dependencies

• Update all dependencies in libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties
• Always prefer stable version of dependencies, if possible
  • Prioritize rc over beta and alpha
• 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 and gradle-wrapper.properties on the versions you decide not to update with an explanation why (usually due to compatibility issues)

3. Verify updates

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)

• Start the Pixel_9_Pro_API_36 Android emulator
• Build the app with ./gradlew assembleDebug
• Install the build APK with adb install
• Verify the app is running and doesn't crash
• Start an iPhone 17 Pro simulator
• Install the iOS app on the simulator
• Verify that it starts and doesn't crash

4. Verify that all potential version updates have been addressed

Verify that all versions in libs.versions.toml and gradle-wrapper.properties that have a newer version available either are at their latest version or has a comment explaining why it wasn't updated

5. Final step

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