Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Jackson, which is used for JSON (de)serialization, requires a minimum SDK level of 26 for version 2.14+. The app's minimum SDK level is currently 21.

Jackson's 2.13 branch will remain supported until at least the end of 2023, but the app should make sure it's using a supported library for critical functionality like this.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Increase the app's minimum SDK level (which isn't a bad idea anyway considering how long it's been at 21, though 21->26 is quite a big increase)

and/or

  • Switch to another library for JSON (de)serialization like Gson or Moshi (check minimum SDK level and plans for change first)

Describe alternatives you've considered, if any

Looks like Retrofit 2.10 adds support for kotlinx.serialization - would this be a good candidate for replacement, as it supports whatever Kotlin supports and we're already using Kotlin anyway? I kind of like the idea of less orgs who can make dependencies difficult for us.

I agree on this.

Sounds like a good plan
