@ribesg you have to make sure you remove all reference of the support library In your XML. Also if you 3 party dependencies, that use android support, it at times creates a conflict

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but I want nothing to do with androidx. I never asked for it. Just updating Lottie to 2.8 added some androidx to the mix and everything exploded, rollbacking to 2.7 in the build file wasn't enough. Had to spend an hour on this.
