Completely rework the app by adopting a new architecture written in Kotlin, designing the UI with Android Compose, integrating a Room database, and Hilt for dependency injection. Despite these substantial changes, the app’s existing user interface will remain mostly unchanged. Additionally, focus on achieving robust unit test coverage. These enhancements are expected to significantly enhance app stability, accelerate feature delivery, and mitigate concerns about introducing new bugs.
