Currently the uiauto library is built on top of the deprecated android.support
libraries. Create an updated uiauto library (uiauto-androidx) using androidx
and keep it alongside the old one for compatibility reasons.
As we update workload-automation going forward, we should update the workloads
to use the androidx version of uiauto.
This has been tested with the latest gradle version available at the time
(8.8).
On devices running android 9 with google play services, PlayProtect
blocks the installation of our automation apks due to targeting a lower
SDK version. Update all apk builds to target SDK version 28 (Android 9)
however do not change the minimum version to maintain backwards
compatibility.
