Solution 1:[1]

Why did this happen?

Because after upgrade, androidx.core:core is accessed somewhere, when your project is still not using androidx. So classes like INotificationSideChannel and many others are now found at two places - androidx.core:core and com.android.support:support-compat. That's why this error occured.

Solution?

You need to migrate to AndroidX which you should have done already. If you don't know about AndroidX. Please read What is AndroidX?

How to migrate current project

In Android Studio 3.2 (September 2018), there is direct option to migrate existing project to AndroidX. This refract all packages automatically.

Before you migrate, it is strongly recommended to backup your project.

Existing project

  • Android Studio > Refactor Menu > Migrate to AndroidX...
  • It will analysis and will open Refractor window in bottom. Accept changes to be done.

New project

Put these flags in your gradle.properties

android.enableJetifier=true
android.useAndroidX=true

Check @Library mappings for equal AndroidX package.

Check @Official page of Migrate to AndroidX

Solution 2:[2]

You have androidx libraries (probably in one of the used libraries) conflicting with the support libraries.

Add these lines into your gradle.properties file: (It's in the root directory of your project)

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

The Jetifier tool migrates support-library-dependent libraries to rely on the equivalent AndroidX packages instead.

Solution 3:[3]

First Select Refractor from top bar then from that select refract to androidx so it will create a zip file for you as a back up.

After that it will automatically be fine and fixes all kind of bugs and errors that are stopping the phone app from running

That's it!! You did it

Solution 4:[4]

Just add these two lines in your gradle.Proparties

android.useAndroidX=true

android.enableJetifier=true
