Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe 🙏
AlgoliaSearch is the only external library I need to disable Jetifier. It would be nice if you could release an updated version with AndroidX dependencies.

Describe the solution you'd like 🤔
Please, migrate to AndroidX 🙏

Hello,

We recently released a Kotlin client that is more suited for Android development. It has no dependency on the android framework, avoiding all together the androidx issues.

You can learn more about it by visiting the repository or our documentation.

As we do not plan to update the android client any further, we strongly encourage you to migrate to the Kotlin client.

Please let us know if this solves your issue.

Thanks
