Now that the Glean Dictionary (https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org)
has hit production, our guidance is to move away from generating
metrics.md files. The Glean Dictionary is a better solution for this task
for a couple of reasons:
1. The Glean Dictionary contains a complete reference of all metrics
and pings sent by an application (not just those defined in the
application itself, as is the case with the markdown documentation)
2. The Glean Dictionary provides additional context and links beyond
what is provided by the documentation (for example, information on
how to access metric information via BigQuery or GLAM) as well as
annotations provided by data scientists in the course of analyzing data
(see, for example, the commentary section for:
https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/apps/fenix/metrics/metrics_search_count).
This should also reduce some of the churn/burden on people when
they submit PRs, as there is no longer any need to update metrics.md
as a part of them.
Instead of using a timestamp this will synchronize the Nightly version with the version
of Gecko / A-C. So when using 90.0.20210426143115 then the Nightly version will be
90.0a1 - similar to what Firefox desktop uses.
Removes the recyclerview-selection library and replaces it with the
SelectionHolder/SelectionInteractor with a Store.
This is an implementation that's similar to what we have in other UI
lists (library).
Add multi-select mode to the BrowserTabsAdapter. It has the
functionality to:
- Enable multi-select mode on long-press.
- Enable multi-select mode when changed by an external function.
- Only works for normal tabs (as we currently have it).

Upgrades to A-C 69.0.20201203202830 and addresses breaking changes:
- Upgrades androidx workmanager to 2.4.0 in line with A-C.
- RecordingDevicesNotificationFeature was removed
- SearchUseCases accept parent session ID instead of session itself
This PR builds on [AC##9024][1], and implements setting the Nimbus endpoints from [a secret set at build time][2].
For production use, this requires a secret named `nimbus_url` to be put into CI.
Note: Nimbus is currently behind a feature flag.
If developers wish to use a Nimbus server for local development, you can set the url by adding an entry into local.properties, e.g.:
```
nimbus.remote-settings.url=https://settings.stage.moz4ws.net
```
Without setting server, Nimbus will be able to function, except no experimental definitions will be fetched, and features under experiment will be configured as if not enrolled in the experiment.

This patch introduces a build flag that can be used on demand on the command line (`./gradlew -PmozillaOnline [..}`) or
permanently when added to local.properties (`mozillaOnline`).
At runtime `Config.channel.isMozillaOnline` will return `true` if the flag was set at build time.

As Google's library for showing licences isn't open-source, this commit
reimplements its main Activity. This is in prevision to having an OSS
flavor of fenix.
We chose to not introduce dependencies to third-party libraries
such as AboutLibraries for now, and we'll stick to using Google's gradle
plugin for the dependencies extraction.
Fixes#7584
See also #162
New API (installBuiltIn/ensureBuiltin) requires
- Gecko IDs and new permissions
- Extension will only be re-installed if it has a new version
This includes a gradle task to automatically generate a
new version in manifest.json for every build so we don't
forget to update the version and end up with changes that
are never applied.
This was achived by:
* Adding `-printconfiguration r8.txt` to `proguard-rules.pro`
* Copying the part from start of `r8.txt` to before the `-printconfiguration` line into its own file.
This gets us exactly what was used in the bundled version.
This avoids BuildConfig modifications between local dev builds,
and speeds up the builds by avoiding running tasks that depend on BuildConfig.
Locally, depending on exact build circumstances, this saves about 5% of build runtime
for simple code changes, and about 90% of build runtime for no-op builds.
We were supposed to have removed Experiments for performance purposes.
However, I find some code dangling in the tree.
Experiments.initialize is no longer called so I suspect
Experiments.withExperiment is a no-op. I verified that the lambda
function provided to it never ran in my local geckoBetaDebug on startup.
Assuming experiments behavior doesn't change in other build types, this
change appears safe.
* For #9644: remove unnecessary leanplum maven repository.
The docs say it is [1] "only needed for Android SDK versions below 4.3.0".
That is API 18 and our min SDK is 21.

* For #9644: move buildscript block from :app to root project.
This will reduce the amount of duplication we need in specifying
restricted dependencies and centralize repository definitions. Since
we're a one project app, it shouldn't have a significant impact on
performance.
* For #9644: restrict dependencies following FFTV config.
However, there is a resolution error to be fixed in the next commit.
This is verbatim from FFTV except I removed the no-op "improve security
if code is refactored incorrectly" lines: these lines rarely changed and
I'm not that concerned. It might be better to simplify the
configuration.

* For #9644: restrict firebase deps to google repo.
This fixes the resolution error from the previous PR.
They were both in their packages by themselves, which feels unnecessary.
Unfortunately, a utils pkg is discouraged by kotlin but we don't have a
better place for them right now. Maybe an annotations/ pkg for the
latter?
In order to target specific variants of Fenix, we're adding schemas that
are specific that app in order to avoid collisions with the other
variants and with other forks of fenix that may have the same schemas.
The current schema for variants:
- Fenix Nightly: `fenix-nightly://`
- Fenix Beta: `fenix-beta://`
- Everything else: `fenix://`
