Hi Nilesh,

Thanks for reaching out. I'm afraid the current SDK doesn't support AndroidX. Unfortunately I don't have a timeline on when support for the library will be released, but stay tuned to our developer channels for any announcements in the future.

Regards, Marc

Answer 2

I solved it by adding this two lines in gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true
