Update Play Core Library for Android 14 Compatibility #175

Description

@HarshitMadhav

Firstly, thank you for this package @MinaSamir11 and the maintainers!

Issue Description:
There is an important compatibility issue with the current version of the Play Core library (com.google.android.play:core) and the upcoming Android 14 (targetSdkVersion 34).

Problem:
Google has introduced a backwards-incompatible change to broadcast receivers in Android 14 to improve user security. As a result, the current version of the Play Core library (core:1.9.0) is incompatible with targetSdkVersion 34. This incompatibility will cause crashes and other issues in apps targeting Android 14.

Impact:
Target SDK Requirement: From August 31, Google Play requires all new app releases to target Android 14.
Release Block: Apps using the current version of the Play Core library will not be able to release future versions to production or open testing.
User Security: The security improvements in Android 14 are crucial for user protection, and maintaining compatibility is essential.

Required Action:
Please update the Play Core Maven dependency to an Android 14 compatible version. This will ensure that applications using this library can continue to be released on the Google Play Store without any issues.
