As part of the migration of WP Android to Android 12, the targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion on the dependent libraries can be updated to 31. The WordPress Android had a targetSdkVersion of 30 which now has been updated to 31 in this PR - WordPress-mobile/WordPress-Android#17153. So in order to keep the targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion to be consistent with the app this change needs to be taken up.
