Move the packages in GPS that use the following package-specific templates to this repository and switch them to using the default template:
- annotations
- aopalliance
- dagger
- errorprone
- findbugs
- inject-guice
- jakarta
- javax-inject
- ow2-asm
Companion PR that removes them from GPS: https://github.com/xamarin/GooglePlayServicesComponents/pull/905
Begin streamlining and updating the default project template. There are two goals here:
- Modernize appearance and metadata by removing "Xamarin" branding and verbiage, shifting more towards ".NET for Android" branding.
- Begin making the default project template more generic and configurable via `config.json`. The desire here is to reduce maintenance burden by making the default template flexible enough that library-specific templates (like `kotlin` or `tink`) are no longer required. (Currently we maintain 46 template sets across AndroidX and GPS repos, the majority of which only have minor differences.)
Context: https://github.com/xamarin/AndroidX/issues/916
`api-diff` currently fails for `Xamarin.AndroidX.Car.App.App` `1.4.0` which is preventing us from updating it. The nature of this crash is documented in https://github.com/xamarin/AndroidX/issues/916.
We have chosen not to spend the resources at this time to fix this tooling error. Instead, we are going to go ahead and update `Xamarin.AndroidX.Car.App.App` to version `1.4.0` and are going to exclude it from running `api-diff`.
