The challenge with upgrading to Android X is that it would force everyone onto RN60+. As such, we want to delay as long as we can to do the migration within this repo. This doesn’t apply to just this package. You’ll see a fair share of other RN dependencies not moving over either.

We’ll likely move over To AndroidX when it is mainstream amongst the most used RN dependencies.

In the interim: RN 60 runs the jetifier by default when you run react-native run-android, so unless you have a special build process that is based around gradlew (say use AppCenter), things should work out of the box.
