Can't build React Native 0.59.8 android.support.v4.net.ConnectivityManagerCompat

Question

I migrated to the newer React Native and updated some libraries to the latest version. A piece of my project.json:

"@react-native-community/async-storage": "^1.4.1",
"@react-native-community/netinfo": "^3.1.1",
"babel-core": "^6.26.3",
"babel-loader": "^7.1.5",
"babel-preset-react-native": "^4.0.0",
"react": "16.8.6",
"react-native": "^0.59.8"

I'm getting this issue here:

D:\myapp\node_modules@react-native-community\netinfo\android\src\main\java\com\reactnativecommunity\netinfo\ConnectivityReceiver.java:12: error: package android.support.v4.net does not exist import android.support.v4.net.ConnectivityManagerCompat; ^ D:\myapp\node_modules@react-native-community\netinfo\android\src\main\java\com\reactnativecommunity\netinfo\ConnectivityReceiver.java:154: error: cannot find symbol ConnectivityManagerCompat.isActiveNetworkMetered(getConnectivityManager()); ^ symbol: variable ConnectivityManagerCompat location: class ConnectivityReceiver 2 errors

gradle.properties

android.enableJetifier = true
android.useAndroidX=true

root gradle

ext {
    buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
    minSdkVersion = 21
    compileSdkVersion = 28
    targetSdkVersion = 28
    supportLibVersion="28.0.0"
}

gradle dependencies

dependencies {
    implementation project(':react-native-code-push')
    implementation project(':react-native-gesture-handler')
    implementation project(':react-native-webview')
    implementation project(':react-native-push-notification')
    implementation project(':@react-native-community_netinfo')
    implementation project(':@react-native-community_async-storage')
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:${rootProject.ext.supportLibVersion}"
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+'
    implementation 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
}

In my case I had to switch off gradle AndroidX and jettifier because some libraries are still dependent on old support libraries and have deprecated dependencies that can't be migrated to AndroidX easily.
