Google play-services-maps:15.0.1 is outdated

[dan-betmate]

I'm getting this warning message from the Google Play Store:

com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1
Maps SDK for Android (com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps) has reported version 15.0.1 as outdated.

From September 9, 2024 00:00 (UTC) you won't be able to release versions of your app containing this SDK version to production or open testing. Update to a newer version (17.0.0+).

These versions have not been reviewed by Google Play. They could contain vulnerabilities or policy violations. Carefully evaluate any third-party SDKs before integrating them into your app.

React-Native-Google-Pay is dependent on play-services-maps

Wondering if there was any chance this dependency can be bumped up?

I'm already using a patch package to bump up the Minimum SDK version and assume I can do the same for play services but would be great if a PR could be opened to do this. I'd happily do it but it doesn't look like any PRs have been merged for a while, and I'd have to do some learning to get it done.
