chore(android): bump mParticle core/rokt-kit floor to 5.79.2 (carries roktsdk 4.14.5 deferred-init fix)

[nickolas-dimitrakas]

Summary

Raises the mParticle Android dependency floor to [5.79.2, 6.0) and bumps the sample app to 5.79.2, so React Native consumers resolve a Rokt kit built against com.rokt:roktsdk 4.14.5.

Location	Before	After
Expo plugin kit injection (plugin/src/withMParticleAndroid.ts)	[5.79.0, 6.0)	[5.79.2, 6.0)
Bridge core (android/build.gradle, api + test pin)	5.79.0	5.79.2
Sample app (sample/android/app/build.gradle)	android-core / android-rokt-kit 5.79.0	5.79.2

Why

com.mparticle:android-rokt-kit:5.79.2 is the first kit built against com.rokt:roktsdk 4.14.5, which fixes overlay/bottom-sheet placements failing on late/deferred Rokt.init() — the exact React Native + mParticle scenario (async kit load / deferred first-frame init) where the SDK initialised after the host Activity had already resumed and the cached Activity stayed null. 4.14.5 observes the Activity lifecycle from process start (via a no-op ContentProvider) and recovers the host Activity from the Compose context.

Chain: ROKT/sdk-android-source#1087 (roktsdk 4.14.5, released) → mparticle-integrations/mparticle-android-integration-rokt#146 (kit pin bump) → mParticle Android SDK 5.79.2 release → this PR.

The bounded upper bound (< 6.0) is unchanged — it keeps kit + core paired on the 5.x line and avoids resolving 6.0.0-rc.1, consistent with the existing comments and #710.

⚠️ Merge ordering

This PR is gated on mParticle/mparticle-android-sdk 5.79.2 publishing android-core + android-rokt-kit 5.79.2 to Maven Central. Until then, Android CI will fail to resolve [5.79.2, 6.0) (5.79.1 is below the floor and 6.0.0-rc.1 is excluded). Do not merge before 5.79.2 is live; re-run CI once it is.

Notes

• Plugin source only (plugin/build is gitignored); no compiled output to update.
• Docs that read "5.79.0 or newer" describe other feature minimums (CNAME / session APIs) and remain accurate, so they're intentionally left unchanged.
• No npm version bump here — the repo's release workflow handles versioning from the [Unreleased] CHANGELOG section.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Dependency-only change, but it shifts what every Android consumer resolves at build time and requires Maven Central 5.79.2 to be published before CI passes.

Overview
Raises the Android mParticle dependency floor from 5.79.0 to 5.79.2 (still bounded at < 6.0) in the bridge android/build.gradle, Expo kit injection in withMParticleAndroid.ts, and the sample app’s android-core / android-rokt-kit pins.

CHANGELOG documents the fix: consumers should resolve a Rokt kit built on roktsdk 4.14.5, which tracks the host Activity from process start so overlay/bottom-sheet placements work when Rokt.init() runs after the Activity has already resumed (common with deferred React Native init). sample/README is updated to match the new pin.

Pull request overview

Updates the Android mParticle dependency minimums across the React Native bridge, Expo config plugin, and sample app to ensure consumers resolve android-rokt-kit built against com.rokt:roktsdk 4.14.5 (deferred-init Activity lifecycle fix).

Changes:

• Bump the bridge’s com.mparticle:android-core dependency range to [5.79.2, 6.0) and update the test pin to 5.79.2.
• Raise the Expo plugin’s injected kit dependency floor to [5.79.2, 6.0).
• Update the sample Android app to pin android-core / android-rokt-kit to 5.79.2 and document the change in CHANGELOG.md.
