Use MapLibre
Move from MapBox SDK to MapLibre SDK.
Description
From user perspective this MR should change nothing, except when pressing the (i) button on a Google Maps / "mapbox" map:
- popup
may havehas a changed heading in your language to reflect that MapLibre is used¹ - no "Telemetry Settings" option
Note that the "mapbox" watermark itself was not changed in MapLibre.
For the next MapLibre version, the dialog title will also be changed.
¹ Even though the changelog in https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/releases/tag/android-v9.5.2 appears indicate that this was indeed changed, https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/pull/160/ only covers the localized string resources. The English original at https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-gl-native/blob/2478d54261908711cbea89de4d4212917e021f9f/platform/android/MapboxGLAndroidSDK/src/main/res/values/strings.xml#L7 is only changed in a commit that is not included in the latest version. A release is supposed to be coming soon now here!
Screenshots
(style differences re. rounded corners are due to different Android versions)

(On an older version of the screenshot, the heading was invisible in the Newer version and I was still wondering why. This was simply caused by a custom ROM screwing with the styles badly.)
Technical details
Very few changes had to be made for this – only minor API changes compared to MapBox SDK are present.
Reading the maplibre Android changelog also did not reveal any breaking changes.
