     defaultConfig {
-        minSdkVersion project.hasProperty('minSdkVersion') ? rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion : 22
+        minSdkVersion project.hasProperty('minSdkVersion') ? rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion : 23
-        targetSdkVersion project.hasProperty('targetSdkVersion') ? rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion : 34
+        targetSdkVersion project.hasProperty('targetSdkVersion') ? rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion : 35
```

## AGP and wrapper

```diff
-classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.2.1'
+classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:8.7.2'
```

```diff
 # gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
-distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.2.1-all.zip
+distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.11.1-all.zip
```

-    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
+    sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_21
-    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
+    targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_21
 }
```

## Kotlin (only if used)

```diff
-    ext.kotlin_version = project.hasProperty("kotlin_version") ? rootProject.ext.kotlin_version : '1.9.10'
+    ext.kotlin_version = project.hasProperty("kotlin_version") ? rootProject.ext.kotlin_version : '1.9.25'
```

## Removed APIs

```diff
-call.success(ret);
+call.resolve(ret);
-call.error("Failed", e);
+call.reject("Failed", e);
```

`BridgeFragment` is gone. Keep a plugin-local `Fragment` subclass if the plugin needs one.
