I don't think AndroidX is as big of a problem as it sounds. The idea was to make it enabled by default in cordova-android 9, but was changed on last minute. Plugins that don't use AndroidX is mainly because they are unmaintained, or because it's hard to use it when cordova-android doesn't enforce it's usage. A few of them are maintaining 2 versions at the same time, one with AndroidX and other with the old support libraries. So current status overloads maintainers that maintain the plugins for not breaking unmaintained plugins. Anyway, with jetifier or dave alden's plugins the problem is solved, in Capacitor 2 we moved to AndroidX and there have not been any problems with the cordova plugin compatibility, we just tell users to use jetifier. AndroidX apart, this is still a breaking change, since changing from file to https will mean data loss, so yeah, this should be targeted for next major. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
