React-native-gesture-handler: Android x migration issue

[nadzic]

I recently upgraded our app to RN version 0.59.5 and AndroidX.

I am getting locally following issue:

/Users/user/Documents/Repos/kiosk-app/node_modules/react-native-gesture-handler/android/src/main/java/com/swmansion/gesturehandler/react/RNGestureHandlerEvent.java:3: error: package android.support.v4.util does not exist
import android.support.v4.util.Pools;
...

When I migrated package react-native-gesture-handler also to AndroidX it works.
Since we use bitrise CI, and there is not possible to migrate react-native-gesture-handler to AndroidX is possible that somehow you fix and upgrade package to AndroidX ?

This should be resolved by #734.
