This has been like my entire week... super frustrating, especially where there's very common packages that have half updated to newer versions of RN and half held back. There were a few things I tried that I eventually decided were just impossible to install. Not to mention almost all the tutorials and example projects are outdated from the start. It gives a pretty bad impression of the community supporting react, how uncoordinated everything is.
I think uncoordinated is the right word. Please don't get me wrong but, come on! AndroidX has been a subject from more than one year now. Starting this year mostly everything went out of beta to stable, so maintainers have had a lot of time to migrate things. At least in the Android community, we are doing it, and we are even paranoid about it, plenty of us is going with the minimal dependencies approach for fear of incompatibilities. React Native collaborators have done something amazing but I don't think the right attitude is just saying "is not our problem".
