+Back in 2017, Google released D8, a new faster dexing compiler to replace DX, producing smaller APKs. In April 2018, Google announced D8 as the default option in Android Studio 3.1.
Here is the announcment “Once we've seen a six month window without major regressions from DX to D8, we'll enter the second phase. This phase will last for a year, and is intended to ensure that even complex projects have lots of time to migrate. During this phase, we'll keep DX available, but we'll treat it as fully deprecated; we won't be fixing any issues.”
If you haven’t already, it is now the time to migrate to D8
On Feb 1st, 2021, Google will move to step 3, removing DX fully from Android Studio and any other build environments.
