# Android Jetifier — Can we say Bye-Bye yet
A couple of years ago Google deprecated the support libraries in favor of the new AndroidX library. Jetifier is a tool to do this conversion for you if you are using libraries that still depend on those deprecated support libraries. However, doing this conversion every build might be time-consuming and it might not even be needed anymore by this time.
*“But how do I know if it is still useful?”* I hear you ask. Fortunately, there is a [Bye Bye Jetifier](https://github.com/dipien/bye-bye-jetifier) Gradle plugin available by [Dipien](https://www.dipien.com/) that has the answer!

## Two simple steps to get you started
Luckily it is very easy to get started! Just add the following dependency to your app `build.gradle` file.
*The version at the time of this writing was **1.2.0**.*
At the end of the same `build.gradle` file, apply the plugin.
You’re all set. Now when you run the Gradle command `./gradlew canISayByeByeJetifier -Pandroid.enableJetifier=false` in a terminal, you’ll get output telling you if your project is still depending on Jetifier or not. In my case, I still have to do some more maintenance.
