   > we discussed about supporting both at the same time before
   
   It's not possible for a project to use both AndroidX and the Android support libraries at the same time.
   
   Currently cordova-android support picking one or the other via a preference in config.xml. *However*, it is not possible to write a plugin that supports both. You either need two versions of every plugin that uses the libs published to npm, or you have plugins that only work with one configuration option.
   
   There are a lot of apps using 3rd party plugins with dependencies on the Android support libraries, and several of those plugins aren't actively maintained. There is no way to use those plugins in an app that has opted in to AndroidX.
