The copyright notice was hardcoded to "2025". Uses java.time.Year.now()
to always show "2025–<current year>" so it never goes stale.

Closes #490

Greptile Summary

Updated copyright year from hardcoded "2025" to dynamic range "2025–" using java.time.Year.now().

Critical Issue Found:

  • java.time.Year requires API 26+, but the app has minSdk = 24
  • This will crash on Android 7.0-7.1 devices (API 24-25)
  • The app does not use core library desugaring to backport java.time APIs
  • Recommend using java.util.Calendar instead, which is available on all API levels

Confidence Score: 1/5

  • This PR introduces a critical API compatibility bug that will crash the app on supported Android versions
  • The change uses java.time.Year which requires API 26+, but the app supports API 24+. This will cause runtime crashes on Android 7.0-7.1 devices, which are still within the app's supported range. The app does not use core library desugaring to backport these APIs.
  • AboutCard.kt requires immediate attention - the API compatibility issue must be fixed before merging

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
app/src/main/java/com/lxmf/messenger/ui/screens/settings/cards/AboutCard.kt Updated copyright year to dynamic range, but uses API 26+ java.time.Year on minSdk 24 app (will crash on Android 7.0-7.1)
