Resolved Issues

Workmanager Compatibility Issue

The app previously experienced build failures due to compatibility issues with the workmanager package (version 0.5.2) and newer Android build tools. This caused Kotlin compilation errors during the build process.

Resolution Steps:

1. Updated Kotlin version to 1.9.22 in the Android build.gradle file
2. Temporarily disabled the workmanager dependency to allow for successful builds
3. Modified the Android configuration in gradle.properties for improved compatibility
4. Refactored code to function without the workmanager package while maintaining core app functionality
5. Added necessary Kotlin dependencies to ensure proper compilation

These changes allowed the app to build successfully while we work on a more permanent solution for background notification functionality.
