Unable to build successfully for Android

See original GitHub issue

I’m getting the following error.


`FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

 What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':posthog-react-native:generateDebugRFile'.
This project uses AndroidX dependencies, but the 'android.useAndroidX' property is not enabled. Set this property to true in the gradle.properties file and retry.
`

I’ve followed all the instructions in the guide. AndroidX is enabled in gradle.properties Maybe it’s related to a new third-party library which was added recently. My environment - Mac OS Big Sur. Tried even on windows 10 but got the same exact error.
