Summary

Migrates from the deprecated ExoPlayer 2.x to AndroidX Media3 1.5.1, as proposed in #183.

  • com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.19.1androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer + androidx.media3:media3-ui
  • Versions.kt: exoplayer constant replaced with media3
  • TikTokPlayer.kt (the only ExoPlayer consumer in the codebase — the YouTube demo doesn't actually use ExoPlayer) rewritten against Media3:
    • SimpleExoPlayer (removed in Media3) → ExoPlayer.Builder
    • manual ProgressiveMediaSource/DefaultDataSourceFactory wiring dropped in favor of setMediaItem — the default media source factory resolves asset:/// URIs
    • imports moved to androidx.media3.*; @OptIn(UnstableApi::class) for PlayerView/resizeMode

As a bonus, Media3 is AndroidX-native, removing the last Jetifier warning that ExoPlayer 2.x produced during builds.

Closes #183

Verification

  • ./gradlew ktfmtCheck assembleDebug testDebugUnitTest passes locally (JDK 17, SDK 35)
  • TikTok demo video playback is asset-based (t1.mp4t3.mp4); the player wiring is unchanged apart from the API rename
  • 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- Update the outdated README Compose badge to the BOM version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

Fixes Gurupreet#193

- Replace com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer with
  androidx.media3:media3-exoplayer and media3-ui
- Rewrite TikTokPlayer against the Media3 API (SimpleExoPlayer was
  removed; default media source factory handles asset URIs)
- Removes the last Jetifier warning produced by ExoPlayer 2.x

Fixes Gurupreet#183
