Appauth-android: Android X support

[SDemonUA]

Hi there,
Just migrated my app to AndroidX and now found type missmatch for methods that configure and work with custom tabs , i.e. 4th argument for AuthorizationService.performAuthorizationRequest().
Right now as I can see it builds and works fine, but can I do smth with that ?

Also I found out that Jetifier modifies _ACTION_CUSTOM_TABS_CONNECTION_ value. Package manager doesn't recognize any application that can handle this action anymore.
The original value is _android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService_ and jetifiered is _androidx.browser.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService_.

Is there any timeline for this fix?

CWT would like to offer a fix to this, but I see that there are already 6 open pull requests, from quite a while ago that have not been handled. Is this library still actively maintained?

Until it gets fixed, you can use: https://github.com/openid/AppAuth-Android/issues/423#issuecomment-447013411

An updated version of the jetifier processor is on its way:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/119183822#comment7
Should fix the problem.

The jetifier processor has now been released.

Please, is there any news about this issue? Why is taking so long to have an update?

As far as I'm aware AppAuth plays very nicely with androidx, though it may not have been officially certified. Code sample that I'm in the process of writing up is here: https://github.com/authguidance-examples/authguidance.mobilesample.android/blob/master/README.md

I suggest that you consider making net.openid.appauth.AuthorizationManagementActivity extend androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

[alwa]

I will create a separate ticket for my request

Library has been migrated to AndroidX in 0.8.0 with the exception of the activity mentioned by @alwa.

Closing this issue and will continue the discussion to that particular item in the PR.
