Build failing "google-services.json is missing" #696

When attempting to build the app in order to debug issue #630, I encountered an error related to the absence of google-services.json. This file is crucial for integrating certain Google services into the app, but it was not included in the project repository and is also listed in the .gitignore file. As a result, it's unclear whether this step can be skipped or how to obtain this file.

Steps to Reproduce:

Download Android Studio.
Clone the project.
Create a virtual device (Android 11, Pixel 8 Pro).
Build the project.
Expected Behavior:
The build process should complete successfully without any errors related to missing files.

Actual Behavior:
Encountered an error indicating that google-services.json is missing.

Additional Information:

This is my first time building a Kotlin app from scratch, so there might be something obvious that I'm missing.
It's unclear whether the absence of google-services.json is intentional or accidental.

Proposed Solution:
Clarify in the project documentation whether google-services.json is required for the build process, and if so, provide instructions on how to obtain or generate this file. Additionally, consider removing google-services.json from the .gitignore file if it's intended to be part of the project repository.

Error:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices'.
> File google-services.json is missing. 
  The Google Services Plugin cannot function without it.

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 9.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

For more on this, please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings in the Gradle documentation.

I should add something to the documentation you are right. There is a mock version of the file in the root of the project called mock-google-services.json that you need to move into the app folder and rename to google-services.json

I will add this to the README
