made the Storage permission

Fixes

Closes #127

Description

This pull request introduces improvements to how storage permissions are handled in the Android app, refactors permission logic for better maintainability, and updates build configuration. The main changes include switching to a centralized permissions helper, updating Android manifest permissions, and modifying the NDK version in the build configuration.

Permissions handling and refactoring:

• Replaced manual storage permission request logic in ExportScheduleUtility with a call to PermissionsHelper.requestStoragePermission, ensuring consistent permission management across the app (src/utils/exportSchedule.ts).
• Added a new utility function requestStoragePermission in src/utils/storage-permissions.ts that delegates permission handling to PermissionsHelper for easier reuse and testing.
• Imported PermissionsHelper into exportSchedule.ts for centralized permission logic.

Android configuration:

• Added android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE to AndroidManifest.xml to explicitly request storage access on Android devices.
• Updated the NDK version in android/build.gradle from 27.1.12297006 to 26.3.11579264 for compatibility or build stability.

@Irtesaam can you check now i have implemented this in my emulator as well as 2 other phones and it is asking for the storage permission

[FireFistisDead]

Dont merge it now i have to make minor changes

[Irtesaam]

@FireFistisDead The current logic is flawed as app continues to save files to the Downloads directory even after storage permission has been denied. This behavior violates user privacy so fix it ASAP.
Also, why was access to music and audio added? Any app features actually using this permission?
