1835665 - Unify FocusDependencies with AC's DependenciesPlugin

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Focus :: General, task, P3)

Description

[Gabriel Luong [:gl] (ΦωΦ)]

As part of the monorepo project, we need to remove buildSrc directory which contains the FocusDependencies which is not reusable in a multi-project gradle setup. We have 2 options:

1. Convert FocusDependencies into a plugin which is reusable via composite build. This will allow us to manage the dependencies separately and avoid refactoring the dependencies in Focus to the use the AC's DependenciesPlugin.
2. Unify with AC's DependenciesPlugin so that we only have a single source of truth and maintain a synced list of dependencies and versions for all our apps.

After some discussions with RyanVM, there is a preference to move towards a single source of truth so that we don't have to duplicate work with managing 3 different files for maintaining dependencies.
