1.) Google now requires all android apps to be built with support lib version 27+ or they will be rejected from the Google App Store. The new support libs require updated Gradle scripts.
2.) The new Android gradle build ecosystem uses the word "implementation" instead of "compile".
3.) Gradle needs to be updated to 4.6+, recommended 4.10+.
Example:
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0'
should now be
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:27.1.1'
