The aim of this PR is to clean up the Gradle scripts and provide some build optimisations.
The optimisations are introduced by enabling Gradle configuration and build cache. These can be observed in the root gradle.properties file with the following properties defined;
This seems to run fine locally on my machine. This is not surprising given the Gradle setup is quite basic so everything is compatible with caching. However, be aware of possible future issues if incompatible plugins are introduced.
It running on CI, it might be wise to run it with these turned off, like so: ./gradlew --no-daemon --no-configuration-cache --no-build-cache
Proguard files which contained no meaningful contents have been removed. This is so that source files which provide no meaningful benefit don't cause any distraction and are not a future maintenance headache.
Common Java/Kotlin/Android setup has been rationalised in to the root build.gradle.kts file, so that repetition is avoided in the sub-projects and also to manage the application of consistency in project module setup.
Also;
Gradle and AGP have been updated to their latest stable versions.
Gradle incubating warnings have been suppressed - remove the warnings when those incubating APIs become stable.
The Kotlin Stdlib has been removed as an explicit dependency. There is no need to add this - the Kotlin Gradle plugin does this for you.
