Fixes an Android build failure caused by duplicate class definitions introduced via app-level Gradle configuration. This change adjusts android/app/build.gradle to remove conflicting dependencies and ensure a successful release build. The issue surfaced during release builds and was not caught in debug-only verification.
Moved text-to-speech (TTS) handling from WebView JavaScript to a native React Native implementation. The previous WebView-based approach tightly coupled rendering and audio logic, making playback control, background handling, and state management unreliable and difficult to maintain. By shifting TTS to the native layer, the reader now has clearer separation of concerns, more stable playback, and improved maintainability while preserving the existing WebView-based reading UI.
