Description

The initial idea was to just do a bump to compile SDK 36, but decided to not do it and use flutter.compileSdkVersion. It should make us worry less about skipping Android version, like it happened with SDK 35.
At the same time I didn't want us to be strict with minSDK, so left it 21 as Flutter supported before 3.35.x release.

As to rest of changes in dependencies - it is an alignment with dependencies versions used by official Flutter packages (e.g. https://github.com/flutter/packages/blob/main/packages/shared_preferences/shared_preferences/example/android/settings.gradle ). I believe that such change should help with better compatibility across the pub ecosystem.

Additionally, thanks for Android Gradle Plugin bump we are preparing plugins to be compatible with apps moving to Android 16KB memory pages: https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes

Marking this PR as breaking, because I am sure there will be lots of users, who will struggle with checking the requirements and adjusting Android part of their projects accordingly.

Next up I will create similar PRs for the rest of plugins in the repo.

@vbuberen stating this is at very least very hostile to all users of the plus plugins.

...I am sure there will be lots of users, who will struggle with checking the requirements and adjusting Android part of their projects accordingly.

The best practice for a major version bump like that is to provide some migration guidelines in a plugin's readme
