Once i add butterknife 9.0.0-rc2 to my project I start getting

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugManifest'.

Manifest merger failed : Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86
is also present at [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91 value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:6:5-20:19 to override.

You must enable jetifier with android.enableJetifier=true in your gradle.properties if you want to mix AndroidX with legacy support libraries.
