'Failed to transform" error after migrating to AndroidX

Question

I\'m using Android Studio 3.2 Canary 14 and am trying to migrate an existing project to use AndroidX. It sounds from https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/s

Answer 1

As per a statement on the AndroidX refactor made by a Google Engineer (Support Library) during the I/O session "What's New in Support Library?", Google already discovered bugs related to Jetifier in Android Studio 3.2 Canary 14.

Thus, it is advised to wait until Canary 15 (to be released the coming week) before starting the AndroidX migration process.
