This PR updates the Android.gitignore template to make it more consistent, minimal, and aligned with common Android development practices. The goal is to ignore only universally generated or sensitive files while removing project‑specific or redundant entries.
Key Improvements
Simplifies IntelliJ/Android Studio section by keeping only *.iml and .idea/, removing overly specific IDE files
Adds common Android build artifacts (*.apk, *.ap_, *.aab) and output-metadata.json
Adds Google Services and Firebase Crashlytics files that should never be committed
Adds NDK/CMake obj/ directory
Adds OS‑specific junk files (.DS_Store, Thumbs.db)
Removes redundant or overly specific patterns that are already covered by existing ignores
Keeps the template focused on broadly applicable Android/Gradle behavior
