AndroidX Migration plan?

See original GitHub issue

Version 28.0.0 is the last version of the classic support library that there will ever be:

This is the stable release of Support Library 28.0.0 and is suitable for use in production. This will be the last feature release under the android.support packaging, and developers are encouraged to migrate to AndroidX.

This library currently uses the old support libraries instead of androidx (version 27.1.1).

I am of the opinion that going AndroidX now (prior to a 1.0 release) would be the best solution, rip off the bandaid now instead of later.

This is going to happen ahead of the next public release. We actually performed a test run through and everything went relatively smoothly. I’ll update the thread once it’s complete so that folks can try it out in the dev branch ahead of the release.
