+     *
+     * Problem: Projects that are using androidx are using a Jetifier compiler as a dependency.
+     * The Jetifier compiler is replacing "android.support" with "androidx" inside all the
+     * dependencies, AppAuth included. But "android.support" is still required by the platform in
+     * order to open a chrome tab. As a result - a chrome tab is not found, and an external browser
+     * is opened instead.
+     * Workaround: Using StringBuilder to create the string
+     * "android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" in runtime prevents the jetifier static
+     * regex from matching "android.support" in the compiled class, thus avoiding the androidx
+     * replacement.
