chore: arm64-v8a build and native dependency updates for Play 16KB page-size compliance

[PremSharma-Intelegencia]

Overview

This pull request updates the Android build configuration and native-related dependencies to ensure the project complies with the latest Google Play and Android platform requirements. These rules affect all apps that include native code and target newer Android versions (including Android 15).

What’s included

1. Build configuration updates

• Updated android/app/build.gradle to add an NDK abiFilters block.
• The app now builds native libraries only for the arm64-v8a architecture, which is the required 64-bit architecture for Play distribution.

2. Native dependency updates

• Updated several native-heavy dependencies in package.json, including:

  • react-native-background-geolocation
  • react-native-mmkv-storage
  • react-native-vision-camera

• Other native modules were also refreshed to versions that support modern NDK tooling and 64-bit builds.

3. Compatibility verification

• Confirmed that updated packages correctly build for 64-bit devices.
• Ensured that native components align with the 16 KB memory page-size requirement introduced for devices running Android 15+.

Why these changes are necessary

Google Play is tightening requirements for apps that include native code:

• 64-bit requirement: All apps shipping native code must include arm64-v8a libraries.
  Official docs:
  https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/64-bit

• 16 KB memory page-size requirement (effective 1 November 2025):
  Apps targeting Android 15 or later must support 16 KB page sizes on compatible devices.
  Official docs:
  https://developer.android.com/guide/practices/page-sizes

Updating the ABI configuration and native dependencies ensures:

• The app stays eligible for Play Store updates.
• APK/AAB sizes are reduced by removing unused ABIs.
• Native libraries are built with modern toolchains that correctly handle 64-bit and 16 KB page-size expectations.
• Future Google Play Console warnings or upload failures are avoided.

Impact

• No breaking changes to JavaScript/TypeScript APIs.
• A clean, simplified native build targeting only the required 64-bit ABI.
• Improved long-term compatibility with upcoming Android releases.

Notes for maintainers

• After merging, confirm CI builds contain only a lib/arm64-v8a/ directory.
• Test on 64-bit devices/emulators to ensure native modules load correctly.
• Monitor Play Console warnings after uploading the next release build.
