Check to see if additional changes are required.
Also, is there a reason if we are updating to these specific versions?

thanks aditya for reviewing

Have you verified compatibility of other dependencies with this agp?
I guess our test suite should be enough ?

Update: Some tests failed which is a good sign!

You might wanna take a quick look at this PR to see what all things were updated: #2064

After taking a look at the failure:

Lint found 2 errors, 38 warnings. First failure:

[1187](https://github.com/google/android-fhir/actions/runs/9566698928/job/26372611822?pr=2575#step:5:1188)    IsoChronology.INSTANCE,
[1188](https://github.com/google/android-fhir/actions/runs/9566698928/job/26372611822?pr=2575#step:5:1189)    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

and trying to fix it without updating min sdk version, I realised we do need the ISOChronology class in order to get the localized date time pattern... without using this class, it's possible to generate the date time formatter object that is localized, but we won't be able to get the actually localized pattern e.g. yyyy-mm-dd (by calling the api getLocalizedDateTimePattern)... but we do need this pattern itself as the hint text...

now an alternative is to not use that as hint text, but instead use a formatted date e.g. 2019-09-12... which might be ok but it will just diverge a bit from the behaviour we have when the entry format string is provided by the questionnaire.

so i think the easiest thing to do is actually update the minsdk.. which i think wasn't an issue only because of the build tool wasn't picking it up since the api was indeed introduced in api level 26... so this way we're only making what was already the case explicit... (device on 24 would have had problem with this already).

[MJ1998]

We dropped the minSdk (for all libraries) to 24 due to this issue #2077.

[pld]

Just to confirm, we're fine raising the min level to 26

[jingtang10]

discussed today at the developers call and no objection so far to this api level change.

if we don't hear anything else we'll include this change in the next release

LGTM.
