Description

From Google Play:

> Remove resizability and orientation restrictions in your app to support large screen devices
>
> From Android 16, Android will ignore resizability and orientation restrictions for large screen devices, such as foldables and tablets. This may lead to layout and usability issues for your users.
>
> We detected the following resizability and orientation restrictions in your app:
> ```

> To improve the user experience for your app, remove these restrictions and check that your app layouts work on various screen sizes and orientations by testing on Android 16 and below.

The key bit that stuck out to me:
> From Android 16, Android will ignore resizability and orientation restrictions

We don't get a choice here... so if this doesn't get addressed, we might have some upcoming usability issues in our near future for Android 16 adopters.

From Keyman 17.0.335. I can confirm they're still in the codebase for 18.0.219-beta as well.
