Issue description

I finally removed (what I thought was) the last library in my project which still used the deprecated support library. So, I disabled jetifier by making this change to my gradle.properties file:

-android.enableJetifier=true
+android.enableJetifier=false

My app compiled and installed fine, but when calling ThreeDSecure.performVerification(), the app crashed:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Landroid/support/v4/content/ContextCompat;

This indicates that the cardinal commerce library still hasn’t migrated to androidx. It would be great if they could, so we could disable jetifier (one less build phase is always welcome).

Thanks!

Just for info, this is still a problem with version 2.2.5-2 of the library.

We have released a new version of the SDK that includes full support for AndroidX and removes the requirements for Jetifier 🥳 . Please upgrade to 4.10.0.
