Question

Is this included by default with a certain React Native version?

I have recently upgraded from RN 0.57.2 to RN 0.61.2.

When I run react-native run-android, I see:

info Running jetifier to migrate libraries to AndroidX. You can disable it using "--no-jetifier" flag.

In the log messages.

Is run-android doing exactly what downloading jetifier and running it manually would do? Or is it still necessary or advantageous to download and run jetifier manually?

For react-native 0.60+ it is integrated in the @react-native-community/cli version that react-native depends on, and it runs for you by default, yes.

As a community we all figured that was a much better developer experience than instructing everyone to do it manually, and even if it runs twice (for people that manually integrated already) it doesn't hurt and doesn't take too long.

Thanks! Would you support adding this fact to the README to avoid confusion?
