Migrate Gradle Groovy (*.gradle) to Gradle Kotlin (*.gradle.kts)

[marcossalto]

Description

In Android Studio, Gradle build scripts in our project structure use Groovy build language. We mainly define plugins, project settings and dependencies in our Gradle scripts.
Writing code in these Gradle scripts doesn't seem excited since we're not very familiar with Groovy language.
A Kotlin build script can contain any Kotlin language element.

Since most of us use Kotlin for development, it's easier and more flexible to have build scripts in Kotlin instead of Groovy.
Kotlin DSL is based on the Kotlin core language. So the syntax is the same as the parent language, which gives us the benefit of using Kotlin for development. Kotlin DSL is fully compatible with Android Studio.

For that reason we find interesting migrating Groovy build scripts (.gradle) to Kotlin build scripts (.gradle.kts) for better reusability and easy maintenance

Tasks

• Updated Koin library to 3.1.3
• Updated KtLint library to 0.44.0
• Optimized buildSrc module for Gradle Dependencies Management
• Updated App name
• Optimized app for Android 12
• Added pre-push GitHook

Notes

We can list some benefits of choosing Kotlin DSL over Groovy

• Good readability
• Easily adaptable Kotlin syntax from the parent language
• Code navigation and automatic suggestions
• Bugs at compile time

Gradle Dependencies Management

We use buildSrc + Kotlin DSL

[agustinkoll-rootstrap]

can we use it like above?

viewModel.state.observe(this) {
}

[agustinkoll-rootstrap]

can we rename it ?

@marcossalto looks like you added two new modules, could you explain a little bit more in the PR description these changes, before approval, also I'd documented these changes in the Readme file including a link to Gradle Kotlin docs to learn more about it.
