Have you ensured AndroidX core is explicitly listed in your Gradle dependencies list?
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/releases/core

implementation "androidx.core:core:$core_version"

[arriolac]

This is probably due to the the jetifier not being enabled. @marshallellis can you ensure that you have the following flags in your gradle.properties file?

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Seems like this might be resolved.
