davidschreiber commented on issue #565: androidx URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/565#issuecomment-455076256 Hi @brodybits. Thanks for the feedback. You're absolutely right that this is not a specific issue to the code inside `cordova-android` but relevant for the next major version bump of Cordova plugins. However, since it only affects Android I took the chance to comment on this issue, which seemed to me like an "umbrella issue" for the general migration topic. > @davidschreiber it would really help if you could explain what exactly is going wrong. The specific issue our customers are facing is a D8 build time error which comes from including Cordova plugins that still use the support libraries (in this specific case the `cordova-plugin-camera`) while also including plugins that contain AndroidX libraries. As you mentioned, this is not specific to code inside `android-cordova`. > I took a quick look through README.md in https://github.com/PSPDFKit/Cordova-Android and noticed that it needs the nightly release of cordova-android@8. You can see in apache/cordova#10 that we are in the process of finishing and releasing the Cordova 9 major release so that your users will no longer need the nightly release. Thank you very much for the heads-up. It's great to hear that the update to Cordova 9 is progressing well, and we're looking forward to the stable release of it. I'm sorry if I misunderstood the scope of Cordova 9. Do I now understand it correctly, that major releases of `cordova` and `cordova-android` are not strictly tied to upgrades of the official plugins? If that is the case, I would go ahead and create AndroidX migration issues in the specific plugin repos (and probably also prepare PRs if this is desired).
