Code Review

This pull request updates the package to include instructions and configuration for enabling core library desugaring on Android, which is a requirement for the IMA SDK. The changes include updating the README, the example app's Gradle file, and bumping the package version across relevant files.

My review has identified a few issues:

A minor typo in the CHANGELOG.md.
A broken link in the README.md to the Android developer documentation.
A potentially incorrect version for the desugar_jdk_libs dependency in both the README.md and the example's build.gradle. This is a high-priority issue as it could prevent users from successfully building their apps.

Please see the detailed comments for suggestions.

+`coreLibraryDesugaring 'com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.1.5'` as a dependency in the
+`android/app/build.gradle` file. For more details, see
+[Java 11+ APIs available through desugaring with the nio specification](https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java11-nio-support-table).


The link to the Android developer documentation is broken, and the specified dependency version for desugar_jdk_libs appears to be incorrect.

The link on line 62 is broken. A correct link for Java 8+ desugaring is https://developer.android.com/studio/write/java8-support#library-desugaring.

The version 2.1.5 for com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs on line 60 is not available in public Google Maven repositories. The latest stable version is 2.0.4. Please verify the correct dependency artifact and version.

I've suggested updating both the dependency and the link.

Suggested change

`coreLibraryDesugaring 'com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.1.5'` as a dependency in the

`android/app/build.gradle` file. For more details, see
