This pull request introduces several significant updates to the AirSync Android app, focusing on improved crash reporting, user preferences, build optimizations, and UI enhancements. The most notable changes include integrating Sentry for crash reporting with user-controlled opt-in, adding new user preferences (such as pitch black theme and blur), switching from KAPT to KSP for annotation processing, enabling resource shrinking and minification in release builds, and refactoring the main UI scaffold for better theming and maintainability.

Crash Reporting & Analytics:

• Integrated Sentry crash reporting, with initialization handled manually in a new AirSyncApp class. Users can enable or disable reporting via a new DataStore preference. Sentry auto-init is disabled in the manifest to avoid double initialization. (app/build.gradle.kts, app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, app/src/main/java/com/sameerasw/airsync/AirSyncApp.kt, app/src/main/java/com/sameerasw/airsync/data/local/DataStoreManager.kt) [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

User Preferences:

• Added new preferences to DataStore for enabling blur effects, pitch black theme, and Sentry reporting, with corresponding getter and setter methods. (app/src/main/java/com/sameerasw/airsync/data/local/DataStoreManager.kt) [1] [2]
• The main activity and theme now respect the pitch black theme preference, dynamically applying it via the ViewModel and Compose. (app/src/main/java/com/sameerasw/airsync/MainActivity.kt)

Build System & Dependencies:

• Switched annotation processing from KAPT to KSP for Room, and updated Gradle plugin usage accordingly. (app/build.gradle.kts) [1] [2]
• Enabled minification and resource shrinking for release builds, and provided commented-out configuration for optimized debug builds. (app/build.gradle.kts)
• Added dependencies for Sentry, Coil (for image and GIF loading), and updated version codes. (app/build.gradle.kts)

UI & Theming:

• Refactored the main activity's Compose scaffold to remove the custom top app bar and move theming logic into the ViewModel, simplifying the setup and enabling dynamic theme changes. (app/src/main/java/com/sameerasw/airsync/MainActivity.kt) [1] [2]
• Improved splash screen handling for OEM compatibility and error cases. (app/src/main/java/com/sameerasw/airsync/MainActivity.kt) [1] [2] [3] [4]

Proguard & Code Shrinking:

• Added Proguard rules for Gson, domain models, and data layer to ensure proper minification and obfuscation compatibility. (app/proguard-rules.pro)
