imho, I'd rather remove the existing date-checking and implement automatic keyboard updates in #7171.

[mcdurdin]

Yes, but we'd still need the date-checking to schedule updates, and it'd be important to have a pathway to trigger a manual update check.

Per Sprint A17S11 sprint plan triage, this will defer to Future and be implemented as a menu option to force a check on keyboard/lexical-models updates

@darcywong00 @mcdurdin Able to reproduce this issue with the latest Keyman 17.0.205-alpha build in Android 5.0 lollipop / API 21 emulator.
