Summary

Upgrades Navigation Compose from 2.7.7 to 2.8.9 and adopts type-safe navigation, as proposed in #193.

Build changes

  • Versions.kt: navCompose 2.7.7 → 2.8.9; new kotlinxSerializationJson = "1.8.0"
  • kotlinx-serialization-json added to the shared kotlinDependencies group
  • org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.serialization (2.1.20, matching Kotlin) available from buildSrc and applied in the two demo modules that define routes

Type-safe route migrations

  • Gmail demo: "home" / "detail" / "create" string routes → @Serializable route objects (GmailHomeRoute, GmailDetailRoute, GmailCreateRoute)
  • TikTok demo: TikTokScreen is now a serializable sealed interface; the profile route carries a typed argumentdata class Profile(val userId: String) read via backStackEntry.toRoute<…>() instead of arguments?.getString("userId")!! — and the bottom bar selection uses NavDestination.hasRoute(...) instead of comparing route strings

The Wear OS nav graph in the cryptoapp demo intentionally stays string-based: it uses androidx.wear.compose:compose-navigation, which has its own API surface.

Closes #193

Verification

  • ./gradlew ktfmtCheck assembleDebug testDebugUnitTest passes locally (JDK 17, SDK 35)
  • CI ./gradlew build on this PR

ktfmt-gradle 0.12.0 fails with 'Generic error during file processing'
once Kotlin 2.x is on the buildscript classpath. 0.22.0 supports
Kotlin 2.x and also formats *.kts build scripts, hence the repo-wide
reformat (no functional changes).

- AGP 8.2.2 -> 8.7.3 (compileSdk 35 supported from AGP 8.6)
- Gradle wrapper 8.5 -> 8.9 (required by AGP 8.7.x)

Fixes Gurupreet#185

- Replace compose/material3 version constants with composeBom
- Strip explicit versions from BOM-managed artifacts
- Import the BOM platform on every configuration that receives
  Compose artifacts (implementation, debugImplementation,
  androidTestImplementation, :data)
- Migrate API removals that come with Compose 1.7 / Material3 1.3:
  SmallTopAppBar -> TopAppBar, rememberRipple -> material3 ripple
- Update the outdated README Compose badge to the BOM version

Fixes Gurupreet#186

All lifecycle artifacts (viewmodel-compose, viewmodel-ktx,
livedata-ktx, runtime-ktx, viewmodel-savedstate) move together
via the shared androidLifecycleGrouped version.

Fixes Gurupreet#192

- navCompose 2.7.7 -> 2.8.9; add kotlinx-serialization-json 1.8.0
- Apply the Kotlin serialization plugin in gmail and tiktok demos
- Gmail: string routes -> @serializable route objects
- TikTok: TikTokScreen becomes a serializable sealed interface;
  the profile route carries a typed userId argument read via
  toRoute(), bottom bar selection uses NavDestination.hasRoute
