Can anyone help me figuring out what's causing this error?
Any ideas on how to get this working? if you need more information please let me know. I am very new to this. Thank you so much in advance.

'provided' is obsolete but where is the provided

api 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.0'
api 'ch.zhaw:facerecognitionlibrary:1.5.3'
}
The compiler is android studio.
Above is my build file after I build it the compiler told me that Configuration 'provided' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'compileOnly'.
But where is the provided?

Replace "api" with "implementation" and your issue will be solved, like this:
implementation 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.0.0'
implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:26.0.0'
implementation 'ch.zhaw:facerecognitionlibrary:1.5.3'

NoClassDefFoundError while loading activity

While loading my app throws this error, then displays the layout normally. How can I stop it from throwing this error? Happens on both android 8 and android 6.

Could not get unknown property 'resolutionStrategy' for project ':app' of type org.gradle.api.Project

I was getting this error:
Error:Execution failed for task ':app:preDebugBuild'.
Android dependency 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7' has different version for the compile (25.3.1) and runtime (27.1.0) classpath. You should manually set the same version via DependencyResolution
A quick search on google showed me that I should include in my app/build.gradle:
resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { details ->
if (details.requested.group == 'com.android.support'
&& !details.requested.name.contains('multidex') ) {
details.useVersion "25.3.1"
}
}
Now I get a new error:
