Bump Android Gradle Plugin to 8.10.1 and Gradle wrapper to 8.11.1

[aleksandar-apostolov]

Goal

Closes AND-1240 — second step of the V2 migration's build toolchain modernization. AGP 8.10 is the first release whose bundled lint engine is compatible with androidx.lifecycle 2.9.x and Compose-K2 detectors (the lifecycle bump arrives in the next PR via stream-android-core 5.0.0). 8.10.1 is the patch-stable release. Gradle wrapper bumps to 8.11.1 to satisfy AGP 8.10's Gradle >= 8.11.1 requirement.

Stacked on #1722 (Kotlin 2.2.0). Merge after parent.

Sequential stack on develop-v2: Kotlin 2.2.0 (#1722) → this PR → stream-android-core 5.0.0 dep (#1725).

Implementation

Version moves:

File	Key	Before	After
gradle/libs.versions.toml	androidGradlePlugin	8.5.2	8.10.1
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties	distributionUrl	gradle-8.8-all.zip	gradle-8.11.1-all.zip

Source-level compat fix (demo-app/build.gradle.kts):

• AGP 8.10 made applicationVariant.buildConfigFields and applicationVariant.resValues nullable (MapProperty<...>?). Two call sites in the androidComponents { onVariants { ... } } block now use ?.put(...) instead of .put(...).

No source changes elsewhere. No convention plugin changes. No bumps beyond AGP / Gradle / demo-app compat.

Testing

• ./gradlew --version → Gradle 8.11.1.
• ./gradlew clean compileDebugKotlin across all modules + demo-app + tutorials + metrics: green.
• ./gradlew testDebugUnitTest: zero failures. @Ignore baseline holds at 21.
• ./gradlew spotlessCheck: green.
• ./gradlew apiCheck: green. BCV .api diff EMPTY (AGP/Gradle bump produces no bytecode-visible diff).
• ./gradlew :demo-app:assembleDevelopmentDebug: green. APK at demo-app/build/outputs/apk/development/debug/demo-app-development-debug.apk.
• streamConventions = "0.13.1" is unchanged and resolves AGP 8.10.1 cleanly — no fallback needed.
• Baseline-profile plugin emits only the benign "tested at most with AGP 8.3.0" warning; no defensive unapply required.

Poem

🐇 Hop, hop, the versions climb,
From 8.5 to 8.7 in rhyme,
The wrapper leaps to 8.10 with glee,
Fresh Gradle tools for all to see,
The bunny approves — build swiftly! 🎉
