jetifier: Migrate project dependencies from the AndroidX format.
$ jetifier reverse
try on your machine

The command "jetifier reverse" is used in Jetifier, a tool developed by Google, which helps in the migration process of your Android project to the AndroidX library.

The "jetifier reverse" command is used to convert the AndroidX dependencies in your project back to the Support Library dependencies. It essentially undoes the transformations made by the "jetifier" command, which converts Support Library dependencies to AndroidX dependencies.

If you have previously run the "jetifier" command on your project and want to revert back to using Support Library instead of AndroidX, you can use the "jetifier reverse" command. This will modify the dependencies in your project to use the Support Library equivalents if possible.

It is important to note that the process is not always reversible and some dependencies might not have an equivalent Support Library version. In such cases, manual intervention might be required to resolve any compatibility issues.
