AndroidX library out of date

Yes, I'll have to do that eventually. The extension will be in one aix file, the google library in the other aix file. I wonder why companion doesn't report an error but apk does. Do companion and apk always contain all libraries available in ai2? Maybe the guava library is ok, but the compiler doesn't add it to the DEX in the apk? Whereas Companion can have all libraries.

Is there a (good) reason why this 5MB limit for uploading files into the asset still exists?
