syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer - Upgrade to Android API level 36 #2436
Description
Bug description
I am using this library in an existing flutter app.
Currently working on upgrading the app to API 36 as required by new Google requirements.
The current version of syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer has a compileSdkVersion 31
This is creating numerous errors from gradle and the android build.
I was able to work around this by creating a local copy of syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer and it's dependencies.
in syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer/android/build.gradle I changed to compileSdkVersion 36
Note: syncfusion_flutter_core also had compiler errors and I commented out those lines.
Steps to reproduce
in pubspec.yaml include the line
syncfusion_flutter_pdfviewer: ^31.1.19
