Description

This PR updates the app to make it installable on modern Android devices, as the Play Store currently blocks it on newer phones.

The App now works perfectly fine on modern Android

Changes

• Updated dependencies to their latest releases.
• Bundled OpenCV:
  • The OpenCV Manager app is deprecated, and downloading APKs from GitHub is likely not compliant with Google Play policies.
• Updated target and compile SDK to 36.
• Introduced MediaStore for handling all image and PDF storage:
  • PDFs on pre-Android Q devices still use raw files.
• Added PermissionX to manage Camera and (on older devices) Storage permissions.
• Removed all absolute file paths and replaced them with Uris:
  • Includes handling edge cases for sharing files with other apps using both file:// and content:// URIs.

Testing

• ✅ Tested on emulators running SDK 25 and SDK 35.
  • ⚠️ UI appears broken on SDK 35 emulator, but I am unable to address it — I have no experience with layouting, and the UI is generated by a third-party library (I think).
• ✅ Installed and tested on a physical device running SDK 33 — UI looks fine, so the issue may be emulator-specific.
