Use AndroidX artifacts checkbox missing from AndroidStudio(Version 3.6.1), When creating a new project?

Question

A checkbox called use AndroidX artifacts is seen in android studio, when creating a new project(screenshot below)

But in my case its missing. Android studio version 3.6.1(screenshot below)

What could be the reason for this ?

Answer 1

In 3.6.1, Androidx is enabled by default along with enableJetifier.

You can verify it in the gradle.properties files with values as

android.useAndroidX=true
# Automatically convert third-party libraries to use AndroidX
android.enableJetifier=true
