Bump compileSdkVersion → 36, buildToolsVersion → 36.0.0, browserVersion → 1.9.0, Fixes AB#3561424

[Copilot]

Upgrades centralized build version variables to support the AuthTabIntent API (requires AndroidX Browser ≥ 1.9.0 / Chrome 137+) and align SDK tooling with API 36.

gradle/versions.gradle

• compileSdkVersion: 35 → 36
• buildToolsVersion: 35.0.0 → 36.0.0
• browserVersion: 1.7.0 → 1.9.0
• targetSdkVersion and minSdkVersion left unchanged at 35 and 24 respectively

onNewIntent signature compatibility

compileSdkVersion 36 changes ComponentActivity.onNewIntent to accept Intent? (nullable). All Activity overrides in this repo were audited — none were found requiring updates. SwitchBrowserActivity.kt in the common module (separate repo) was confirmed to already carry the correct nullable signature:

override fun onNewIntent(intent: Intent?) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent)
    setIntent(intent)
    // ...
}

Original prompt

Fixes AB#3561424

Objective

Upgrade the centralized build version variables in versions.gradle to enable the AuthTabIntent API and fix all onNewIntent signature breaks caused by the compileSdkVersion 36 upgrade.

Follow .github/copilot-instructions.md strictly.

Technical Requirements

1. In gradle/versions.gradle, update:

   • browserVersion from 1.7.0 to 1.9.0
   • compileSdkVersion from 35 to 36
   • buildToolsVersion from 35.0.0 to 36.0.0
   • Do NOT change minSdkVersion (keep at 24) or targetSdkVersion (keep at 35)

2. Search the entire repo for Activity subclasses overriding onNewIntent(intent: Intent) (non-nullable Kotlin parameter) and update to onNewIntent(intent: Intent?):

   • Add null-safety handling in the method body
   • Preserve super.onNewIntent(intent) and setIntent(intent) calls
   • Known affected: SwitchBrowserActivity.kt in common module

3. Verify compilation across all modules after the changes.

Files to Modify

• gradle/versions.gradle - Version bumps (browserVersion, compileSdkVersion, buildToolsVersion)
• All Activity subclass files with onNewIntent(intent: Intent) override - Update parameter to nullable Intent?

Acceptance Criteria

• browserVersion is 1.9.0, compileSdkVersion is 36, buildToolsVersion is 36.0.0
• targetSdkVersion remains 35, minSdkVersion remains 24
• All onNewIntent(intent: Intent) overrides updated to onNewIntent(intent: Intent?)
• Null-safety handled in all updated methods
• Clean compilation across all modules
