Anyone have experience regarding migration from Support Library to AndroidX? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/61179356/androidx-jetifier-unable-failed-to-transform-3rd-party-transitive-dependency-tha

Did you use the tool in Android Studio to convert?

no, I’m using manual migration scripts inspired by Dan lew, Android Studio X migration tools takes a long time for me

The tool took a really long time for me. But I ran it and then followed up with the script from Dan lew... then it was a bunch of manually changes... and then it worked.

does the Migrate to AndroidX tools from Android Studio has same behaviour like the scripts? I’m not feeling okay with waiting too long on the first try, almost 4 hours and ticking, so I force close it T_T

Android Studio AndroidX migration tool is just SHIT. Just makes you lose time because it's not either SLOW or UNRELIABLE, it's BOTH! In my case, I manually updated the dependencies, added the properties for AndroidX and jetifier, then ran a homemade Kotlin script across all the modules.

did you publish publicly your kotlin script to the github repo? @louiscad

@miqbaldc Actually, there's even a Gradle plugin thanks to @jmfayard https://github.com/LouisCAD/Splitties/tree/49e2ee566730aaeb14b4fa9e395a677c3f214dba/plugin It's fast but doesn't support migrating dependencies at the moment, and lacks integration with #gradle-refresh-versions for it (that allows updating dependencies easily and quickly even in multi-modules project). It might not resolve the issue you're encountering, but speaking of Chuck, I'm using the library in a project using AndroidX with no problem.

After using

Chucker

(the maintained version of

chuck

) yes, I don’t have any problems anymore for chuck. But, the issue still persist for a few library (e.g:

CleverTap

). I’ve been wondering, gradle caching might messed-up the jetified process. So, instead using the

jetified-*

aar version, AS keeps fetching/using the real one that still using Support Library. Stated in my SO Questions, the image I’ve provided, shown that

CleverTap

did works jetified. (see attached image) Unfortunately, when trying solving a common error situations: (invalidate cache, restart, clean, build, remove .idea & .gradle) seems not succeed for me. The AS (in Project structure view -> External Libraries) using original

CleverTap

still used instead of the jetified version.

@miqbaldc Which AS and which AGP version are you using?

AS & AGP both version using 3.6.2 @louiscad

@miqbaldc Can you confirm you have

android.enableJetifier=true

in the

gradle.properties

file in the root of the project, with no typo?

yes, here’s the proof. because the jetified works for “a few” library in my case, but failed for

CleverTap

(also others listed in my SO questions)

Would you try with AGP 4.0.0-beta04 from command line? They might have updated jetifier and added some fixes. If it's still not working, you can try with 4.1.0-alpha05, and if still not, then you need to report it with enough details, or better yet, a reproducing project on b.android.com (that I'll star if you link it here).

the latest beta version feb 2019: https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/jetifier i don’t think there’s any bugfix for the jetifier currently. cmiiw
