refactor: Update app configurations and target SDK

- Updated the target SDK to 36.
- Removed manifest placeholders for analytics and ad storage, as these are now handled directly in `AndroidManifest.xml`.
- Added new AdMob and Firebase Performance metadata to `AndroidManifest.xml`.
- Ensured Google Analytics screen reporting and storage are enabled by default.
- Set ad user data and personalization signals to follow `eu_consent_policy`.
