The gradle build is getting failed.
ERROR- Could not find method compile() for arguments [directory 'libs'] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

This is expected with Gradle 7.2 since the compile and testCompile configurations have been removed.
You must replace compile with implementation and testCompile with testImplementation

My solution is.
jar file Directory is /WEB-INF/lib/MyJarFile.jar :)
flatDir {
name 'lib'
dirs "$rootProject.projectDir/lib"
}
dependencies {
classpath fileTree(dir: 'lib', include: 'MyJarFile.jar')
}

Java and Kotlin combined build error (Duplicate Zip Entry)

I have added Kotlin library to my existing project. After that I'm getting the build error. I commented all the recently added libraries and checked the main problem is after adding kotlin library

If I remove the below line from the app gradle everything works fine. But if I add the kotlin library I'm getting the error.
compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
How can I use the kotlin and Java together.

Atlast I found the answer, it was due to duplicate entry to annotation which can be solved by using the below lines in the gradle.
configurations {
compile.exclude group : 'org.jetbrains' , module : 'annotations'
}

Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 9.0.0.
thanks~

You should rectify your build.gradle
No Need
compile project(':library_googlemap') // Remove this line
Finally
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.2.1'
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:10.2.1'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:10.2.1'

Any idea how to solve it?

If you have a dependency that also declares the recyclerview lib then just exclude it from the dependency. For example imagine your lib library_slidingmenu contains the recyclerview dependency, then we would need to do something like this
dependencies {
compile project(':library_slidingmenu') {
exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'recyclerview-v7'
}
// the rest of your dependecies
}

Gradle assembleRelease doesn't work with ProGuard

So my project seemed to break at random today, with the error apparently being something about being over 65K methods. After doing some research I realised it was time to use ProGuard and enable multiDex, which seemes to have made things worse. This is the error I get when I try create a release APK:
Error:Execution failed for task
':My-Project:proguardRelease'.
java.io.IOException: Can't write [C:\Users\User-PC\AndroidStudioProjects\MyProject\My-Project\build\intermediates\classes-proguard\release\classes.jar] (Can't read [C:\Users\User-PC\AndroidStudioProjects\MyProject\My-Project\libs\bolts-android-1.2.0.jar(;;;;;;!META-INF/MANIFEST.MF)] (Duplicate zip entry [a/a.class == bolts-android-1.2.0.jar:bolts/AggregateException.class]))
and my build.gradle file looks like this:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.parse'

I have tried cleaning and rebuilding the project several times, to no avail.

Well i think you get this error because you declare two dependencies of bolts-android one in My-Project\libs\bolts-android-1.2.0.jar the other usinge maven with compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.+'
Remove the lib that's on the lib folder.
