feat: add brownie android

[hurali97]

Summary

This adds support for android to the brownie package. The usage is as simple as after creating the brownfieldstore.brownie.ts:

• Register the Store:

registerStoreIfNeeded(
  storeName = BrownfieldStore.STORE_NAME
) {
  BrownfieldStore(
    counter = 0.0,
    user = User(name = "Username")
  )
}

• Declare the Store:

val store: Store<BrownfieldStore>? = StoreManager.shared.store(BrownfieldStore.STORE_NAME)

• Use the Store:

// Read current state
val current = store?.state

// Update whole state with copy()
store?.set { state ->
  state.copy(counter = state.counter + 1)
}

// Subscribe to full state changes
val unsubscribe = store?.subscribe { newState ->
  println("Counter: ${newState.counter}")
}

// Cleanup subscription
unsubscribe?.invoke()

Test plan

• CI Passes - 🟢
• Tested Locally - 🟢

Should we go with a major release instead? However, then it will not align with react-native-brownfield version as that would still be v3

[thymikee]

We can do it in a point release, no need for major (it’s a new thing). Should align

[hurali97]

Bumped all minors to align.

Pull request overview

Adds Android support to the @callstack/brownie package by introducing an Android runtime (Kotlin facade + JNI bridge) and updating CLI/docs/examples so stores can be used from Kotlin as well as Swift/JS.

Changes:

• Enable Kotlin codegen (and default to Swift + Kotlin generation) in the CLI.
• Add packages/brownie/android implementation: Kotlin Store/StoreManager, JNI bridge, and RN TurboModule package/module.
• Update docs and example apps to show Android usage and wire up counters.
