I'm trying to move to migrate to androidx. I used the migration tool in Android Studio. When I do this I get the following stacktrace when I run my app.

The exception is correct. android.support.v4.content.FileProvider doesn't exist in my app. But androidx.core.content.FileProvider is included in my app. The big question is why does it want to load the old version of FileProvider?
Thanks to @CommonsWare
More explanation:
What to do, find the android.support.v4.FileProvider
in your <provider>
in AndroidManifest.xml
.
Change it to androidx.core.content.FileProvider
