Hi,
It looks like I have a similar problem as topic started.
I have modified graddle.properties as theyasirahmad suggested, but that did not help.

How to reproduce:

1. clone the repo
2. yarn install && yarn run start in example/ folder
3. in another terminal run npx react-native run-android
   as a result I get a lot of errors as above:

ImagePickerModule.java:15: error: package androidx.annotation does not exist
import androidx.annotation.NonNull;

Any ideas?

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

i get an error like this

Task :react-native-gesture-handler:compileDebugJavaWithJavac
/Users/fandupratamalakuana/test-interview/react-native/<my_folder>/node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/gesturehandler/react/RNGestureHandlerModule.java:37: error: cannot find symbol
import androidx.annotation.Nullable;

end then this methods its works

Add the following two flags to true in your gradle.properties file at ProjectFolder/android/gradle.properties

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

Execute:
npm install --save-dev jetifier
npx jetify
npx react-native run-android

In your package.json add the following to scripts
"postinstall" : "npx jetify"
