   I think we do want to do this, to resolve the issues with file URLs and API 30 and security concerns, but if we're adding an AndroidX dependency then we should also just move to the AndroidX WebView instead of the system one.
   Adding an AndroidX dependency will also require a major version bump, and will break any existing plugins that use the Android Support Libraries (unless a tool like Jetifier is used).
   
   I think a good way to prototype this would be to make a new pluggable webview plugin for the AndroidX webview, that can be installed in existing versions of cordova-android for testing, and then bring it in either as part of the next major or as a `cordova-androidx` platform (as we'd discussed in one of the contributor meetings).
