Review of the most interesting updates in Android Jetpack libraries

Update from AndroidX for the week August 12–18 2019 show us the next:

WorkManager

2.2.0 (compare to 2.1.0)

New version contanins only one changes — supports the use of GCMNetworkManager as a scheduler when Google Play Services is available for API levels <= 22.

This is an optional dependency that helps with more reliable and performant background processing on older API versions. If your app uses Google Play Services, add this dependency to your gradle file to automatically get GCMNetworkManager support.
