Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses compatibility with Gradle 9 by updating the build.gradle file.

This ensures that projects can successfully compile and run using the latest Gradle versions, preventing build failures related to unavailable repositories.

Code Review

This pull request aims to add support for Gradle 9 by replacing the deprecated jcenter() repository with mavenCentral(). While this change is correct and necessary, it is insufficient on its own. The project's Android Gradle Plugin version is outdated and incompatible with Gradle 9, which will cause build failures. I've left a comment with details on the required additional changes to achieve full Gradle 9 compatibility.

[gemini-code-assist]

While replacing jcenter() with mavenCentral() is a necessary step for Gradle 9 compatibility, this change alone is not sufficient. To achieve the goal of this PR, several other dependencies need to be updated:

1. Android Gradle Plugin (AGP): The current version 4.1.0 (line 12) is not compatible with Gradle 9. You should update it to a more recent version, for example 8.3.2, which is compatible with Gradle 8.4+.
2. Kotlin Version: The AGP update will require a corresponding update to the Kotlin version (1.7.0 on line 5). For AGP 8.3.2, the compatible Kotlin version is 1.9.22.
3. Gradle Wrapper: The project's Gradle wrapper is configured for Gradle 6.7 (gradle-wrapper.properties). This must be updated to a version compatible with the new AGP, such as Gradle 8.4.

Without these changes, the project will not be buildable with Gradle 9, defeating the purpose of this PR.

Correct, this PR only make it so that you can build Android app with Gradle 9 using this library.

The library is working as intended on project built with Gradle 9
