dataconnect/demo: upgrade dependencies to fix build by dconeybe · Pull Request #8692 · firebase/firebase-android-sdk

dconeybe · 2026-10-09T18:42:17Z

This PR modernizes the Firebase Data Connect demo application and its CI workflow by upgrading Gradle, the Android Gradle Plugin, Kotlin, Java, and all associated dependencies to their latest compatible versions. It also cleans up obsolete build properties, updates code formatting with a newer ktfmt, and ensures smooth execution in GitHub Actions.

Highlights

Build Tooling Upgrades: Upgraded Gradle to 9.8.1 (was 8.14.5), Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) to 9.4.1 (was 8.11.1), Spotless to 8.10.4, and Dokka to 2.2.0. Switched to AGP's built-in Kotlin support.
Java and JVM Target Upgrade: Upgraded compileOptions and Kotlin jvmTarget to Java 11 (was Java 1.8), and raised compileSdk and targetSdk to 37 (was 36).
Dependency Upgrades: Upgraded the Firebase BOM to 35.0.0 (was 33.16.0), Google Services Gradle plugin to 4.5.0, Kotlin coroutines and serialization libraries to 1.11.0, and modern AndroidX libraries (AppCompat, Activity, Lifecycle, Material).
Gradle Properties Cleanup: Removed obsolete and deprecated Android Gradle properties, enabled parallel tooling for Gradle 9.4+, and standardized comment syntax from // to #.
CI Workflow Improvements: Upgraded the CI JDK to 21 to support Gradle 9.8.1 and AGP 9.4.1, approved necessary npm scripts during firebase-tools setup, and ensured -PdataConnect.demo.firebaseCommand is passed to the Dokka documentation task.
Code Formatting: Upgraded ktfmt to 0.65 (was 0.53) and re-applied formatting across Kotlin source files in the demo application.
