My Android Studio Java app is still targeting API 34 and I need it fully brought up to API 36. Alongside the version bump, I want the codebase tightened so it runs more efficiently and the overall look refreshed with a modern theme. Scope • Update Gradle files, libraries and any deprecated calls so the project compiles cleanly against API 36, including new permission or foreground-service requirements. • Profile and refactor hotspots to shave unnecessary CPU / memory use and eliminate obvious jank. • Re-skin the app with a contemporary Material-based theme—colours, typography and styles—while preserving existing layouts and behaviours. Upgrade all the dependencies used in the project. Acceptance The upgraded project must build without warnings on the latest stable Android Studio, pass Play-Store target-SDK checks and launch on devices running Android 14. A short report describing the performance optimisations and the theme changes will complete the hand-off.
