Removed Live Activity as it's very BUGGY!!!

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to export your data before upgrading the app
It's been frustrating to deal with SwiftData being stored in App Group

Added Import service, so that you can always export and restore your valuable friends data

Improved the experience to manage friend relationships. Yay!
