The application build fails due to outdated dependancies, now I need to implement this application from scratch in latest flutter SDK and tools, with sepeaate backend made in nodejs and mongodb, will have to first consider appropriate use cases and then according to those use cases, networking will be implemented

The application is created using an older version of the Android embedding. It is being deprecated in favor of Android embedding v2.
v1 Android embedding will be removed in future versions of Flutter and hence it would be better to migrate it to v2 rather than using the ignore-deprecation flag while building.

The app is developed using Android v1 embedding and hence is deprecated. A workaround is to use --ignore-deprecation flag and build the app. Even after using it, build fails with the following error.

There is no initialize method available in the Global class as of now. Creating an initialize method can make the process of writing tests simpler.

BottomNavigationBarItem's title parameter is deprecated and hence is no longer available as a parameter as specified in the official Flutter's Documentation. This raises an error and hence has to be migrated.

We have to replace the title parameter with label. That will fix this issue.

There seems to be no tests written for Pages. I'd like to write some unit tests to test the functionalities.

As per the history of the project, p2p_client_dart was not a null safe package and hence a new package called flutter_nearby_connections was used.
Now build fails since task ':app:checkDebugDuplicateClasses' fails and I figured out that the error is due to flutter_nearby_connections package probably because it built using an older Kotlin Version. So, I removed the package and tried building it and this time the build was successful.
Hence, it would be better to replace the flutter_nearby_connections package with nearby_connections which is a new and updated package.

I will have to make the UI from scratch using modern code structure and design patterns, a minimal UI will be implemented

To make the codebase more organized and ensure it works as expected, I'd like to write some tests to
test the functionalities of Classes.
