Build fails due to AndroidX incompatibility

[DrStefanFriedrich]

I am using the following dependency in my Flutter project:

dependencies:
  wechat: ^0.0.5

When I compile it in debug mode, everything is fine. When I try to compile it in release mode, I get

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:

Execution failed for task ':wechat:verifyReleaseResources'.

> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.tasks.Workers$ActionFacade

   > Android resource linking failed

The build failed likely due to AndroidX incompatibilities in a plugin. The tool is about to try using Jetifier to solve the incompatibility.

The last line in the error message suggest that the WeChat plugin is not AndroidX ready.

Would you please convert the plugin to AndroidX and build a new release, 0.0.6?

All you have to do is add these two lines

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

to android/gradle.properties.

I would appreciate it very much.
