Android gradle build failed with an exception when include firebase and gms service

I just created an empty android project while including the dependencies I need for the project I got an error only when I add com.google.firebase or com.google.android.gms it will generate error below.
/Users/macbookair/Desktop/ANDROID/APPTEST/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91
Error: Attribute application#appComponentFactory
value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory) from
[com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0]
AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91 is also present at
[androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86
value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory). Suggestion: add
'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to element
at AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-21:19 to override.
Please can anyone help me out, I have be trying for very long time to fix this error.

From the below screenshot this implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' also has an error but when I build apk it create successfully, I don't think is good.
Dependencies using groupId com.android.support and androidx.* can not
be combined but found
IdeMavenCoordinates{myGroupId='com.android.support',
myArtifactId='support-fragment', myVersion='28.0.0', myPacking='aar',
myClassifier='null'} and
IdeMavenCoordinates{myGroupId='androidx.swiperefreshlayout',
myArtifactId='swiperefreshlayout', myVersion='1.0.0', myPacking='aar',
myClassifier='null'}

I'll suggest you try one of the following:
1) Migrate the whole project to use the androidx libraries which you can do under Refactor > Migrate to AndroidX from the menu bar.
2) Downgrade the versions of com.google.firebase and com.google.android.gms from 17.x.x to a lower version

I tried to delete the user-gradle-directory and the project-gradle-directory and relaunch android studio without any help. I tried to invalidate cache / restart, as well, but nothing helped.
I also can't fix the issue (all gms/firebase libraries must be exact the same...). And I realize that in all of my files the "package.R" is not recognized any more.
I have no clue to fix these problems.
It would be great if someone could help me or give me an idea.

Null Value In Entry: Stream Output Folder Is Null

I am working on Android Application using the Fire base Database. All the data stored perfectly on the Fire base.
The Problem comes when I make some changes and close the Application by Forcing android Studio to be Shut Down.
Now When I open Android to built Project It Gives Error of Stream output Folder as Null.
I have searched on Stack Overflow and find an answer with my Error Resemblance but I didn't understand the Answer completely.

Here is my App Gradle Code
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.example.usmanali.medicineinvent"
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 26
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"

}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled false
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

}
}

here is build. Gradle File
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'

This problem is just Resolved by Deleting the .Gradle File in the Project Folder.
After .gradle File Deletion;
Built and Clean the Project.

Switching Android module from library to application results in "Unable to resolve dependency for :app#debug/compileClasspath"/

I have an android app I want to import to my project as a module. The module syncs and compiles fine with apply plugin: 'com.android.application' However, there are classes from the module that I want to use in my project. To do this, it seems like I need to switch the gradle for the module to read apply plugin: 'com.android.library' as per this question. However, changing the module from an application to a library results in the following error log:
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#debug/compileClasspath': Failed to transform file 'OCRTest-release.aar' to match attributes {artifactType=android-exploded-aar} using transform ExtractAarTransform
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#debugAndroidTest/compileClasspath': Failed to transform file 'OCRTest-release.aar' to match attributes {artifactType=android-exploded-aar} using transform ExtractAarTransform
...
Unable to resolve dependency for ':app#releaseUnitTest/compileClasspath': Failed to transform file 'OCRTest-release.aar' to match attributes {artifactType=android-exploded-aar} using transform ExtractAarTransform
So far I have tried invalidating caches and restarting Android Studio, as that was a common suggestion. I have also seen it suggested to delete the .gradle file altogether. Is that safe to do? Also, the main thing I want to do is be able to use Java classes from the module in my app's activities. If there is a better way to go about doing this, let me know.
Here is the code for my .gradle files.
settings.gradle:
include ':app'
include ':OCRTest'
build.gradle(Project):
buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
// NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
// in the individual module build.gradle files
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
}
build.gradle(Module: OCRTest): This is the module that contains classes I want to use in my app

}
}

}
}

matchingFallbacks = ['debug']

}

implementation 'com.android.support:design:27.1.1'

androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
implementation project(path: ':OCRTest', configuration: 'default')
}

Remove the following line from build.gradle(Module:app):
implementation project(path: ':OCRTest', configuration: 'default')
Sync Gradle files.
Replace settings.gradle with this line:
include ':app', ':OCRTest'
Sync Gradle files again.
Now goto Project Structure>Add Module dependency and add module.
Hope this helps :)

Getting an error "could not find method implementation()" in Android Studio

I'm getting this ERROR message.
Could not find method implementation() for arguments [project ':app']
on object of type
org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
Here's my project level's gradle file :
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test:runner:1.0.2'
androidTestImplementation 'com.android.support.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.0.2'
}
NOTE : I'm already aware of the following.
The "compile" has been replaced by "implementation" in Gradle 3.0 or
higher.
Yes, I'm using Android Studio's latest version and according to Rob, I should prefer the old one. But the thing is that I was haunted
by a lot of technical issues in that version (a lot of them included
stuff which is now outdated).
I've read almost every solution to this problem on Stack Overflow, Github. All of them are either asking to use implementation() instead
of compile (which I'm already using), or they're asking to check if
the Gradle version is 3.0+.
I've tried changing all the "implementation" to "compile" on suggestion of one user on Stackoverflow.
I've tried importing a lot of libraries as suggested by a lot of people in different communities.
Some info about my Android Studio
Android Studio - 3.1.3
Android Plugin Version - 3.1.3
Gradle Version - 4.4
Screenshot of the situation

I've never seen something like implementation project(':app') on a gradle file.
Here you have an example of a working gradle file, try deleting implementation project(':app') and resync.
