what am I missing? does androidstuido still support android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView"?

Answer 1

The class android.support.design.widget.BottomNavigationView is provided by the design support library.
It requires the com.android.support:design:28.0.0 dependency.

You are using androidx libraries.
In this case you have to use the Material Components Library.

It requires the dependency:

implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0'

and the component is com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
