Update your Play Core Maven dependency to an Android 14 compatible version

Question

I have received this message from Google Play:

com.google.android.play:core:1.10.3 Google Play Core (com.google.android.play:core) has added this note for SDK version 1.10.3:

Update your Play Core Maven dependency to an Android 14 compatible version! Your current Play Core library is incompatible with targetSdkVersion 34 (Android 14), which introduces a backwards-incompatible change to broadcast receivers to improve user security. As a reminder, from August 31, Google Play requires all new app releases to target Android 14. Update to the latest Play Core library version dependency to avoid app crashes: https://developer.android.com/guide/playcore#playcore-migration

From September 25, 2024 00:00 (UTC) you won't be able to release new versions of your app containing this SDK version to production or open testing.

Here is my dependencies list used in project:

    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5'
    androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1'
}

As you can see I am not directly using play core library in my app. How can I determine which library I need to update or which already used library is using google play core?
