Research direction
Begin by searching the codebase for all calls to startActivityForResult and overrides of onActivityResult. The migration involves replacing these with the ActivityResultLauncher from the Activity Result API. Review the official Android migration guide and consider any maintainer comments in the issue discussion (currently 5 comments) for specific requirements. Common files to update include BaseActivity or any Activity subclass that performs intent launches.
