Target Android 16 (API 36)

[phanan]

Play Console: "Your highest non-compliant target API level is Android 15 (API level 35). To ensure that you can continue to make updates to your app you must update your app to target Android 16 (API level 36) or higher."

compileSdk was already 36, so this is the one line that was left.

Why this is low-risk here

The behaviour changes that come with targeting 36 are all already accounted for:

Change	Status
Edge-to-edge opt-out removed	Already edge-to-edge — MainActivity.onCreate calls setDecorFitsSystemWindows(window, false)
Predictive back on by default	Already opted in via enableOnBackInvokedCallback="true"; back nav was fixed in #152
Orientation/resize restrictions ignored on large screens	Manifest sets neither screenOrientation nor resizeableActivity
Media foreground service rules	foregroundServiceType="mediaPlayback" with the matching permission already declared

Verified

Bundle manifest from the release build:

versionCode="500"  versionName="2.2.10"  minSdkVersion="24"  targetSdkVersion="36"

versionCode 500 is 50 * 10 + 0 from the ABI scheme in build.gradle:98, consistent with build 47 having shipped as 470.

Not verified on an Android device. This changes runtime behaviour opt-ins; it wants a smoke test on hardware — launch, playback, back gesture, notification controls — before going to production. Play's internal testing track is the natural place.
