java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljavax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter

Question

This is only happening with Android 9 devices. Using the evernote android sdk.

I've upgraded my targetSdkVersion to 28 and migrated to androidX and now I'm catching this issue in crashlytics with this stacktrace:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Failed resolution of: Ljavax/xml/bind/DatatypeConverter;

And

Is there anyone who could help me ti fix this issue? From what I've discovered, the evernote sdk is using this library "org.scribe:scribe:1.3.7", that is quite outdated, maybe this is the issue.
