Flutter Branch SDK doesn't auto reinitialise when we use the GoogleSignIn method for Signing IN only in Android

[vamsi-branch]

Keep the template and provide all requested information:

Describe the bug
Flutter Branch SDK doesn't auto reinitialise when we use the GoogleSignIn method for Signing IN.
As Google SignIn creates new activity, when we are finished with it, the MainActivity of the App resumes, but the branch sdk doesn't resume in this particular flow.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to drive link and download the setup
2. Would be required to clean cache and re-run flutter
3. Now After the app is installed, click on the LoginButton which will open the login flow and after it ends, we will be redirected to mainactivity
4. When we try to track any content we find that the branch sdk didn't re-init.

Expected behavior
The expected behaviour is that after the siginin screen is completed, the main activity is resumed with the branch sdk

@RodrigoSMarques Can you try it with the upgraded gradle properties
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-8.3-all.zip
Change from 7.5 to above and it is present inside the gradle folder -> gradle-wrapper.properties

It looks like due to JDK 21 it is not compiling
