If checkJetifier doesn't throw warning, does that mean I can remove it from my project?

Question

I ran build -> Make Project, and then used the Build Analyzer.

Inside the reports, I select the Warning tab and no jetifier warnings are found. (The project is build with Android Gradle Plugin 4.1)

Does that mean that I can be confident that jetifier does not need to be used for any lib and I may disable the jetifier from the gradle.properties file?

Answer 1

In short, no.

Probabably it will only check direct dependencies or known dependencies. We use a vendor artifact that didn't throw any errors when compiling, running profiler, etc. But after running the app it threw exception because it was still requiring the android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat class
