I am getting error: Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'. It will be removed at the end of 2018

I got this error after an update of Android Gradle plugin and Android Studio.

I have checked this question (Android Studio build.gradle warning message), but I am not able to run the project.

Explaination:

since the compile is been obsolete in 2018 you must change this configuration as follows: 1. open build.gradle(module:app) app file and make following changes in it. 2. replace compile with api wherever api ref. like: volley, GitHub dependancy.strong text is used and 3. replace compile with implementation incase of using android libraries like play-services-maps,appcompat-v7 etc.

example: old way

  dependencies {
     testCompile'junit:junit:4.12'
    compile 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.0'

Change it to:

 dependencies {
    testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
    implementation 'com.android.volley:volley:1.1.0'

if the issue still persists:

open build.gradle (Project: yourproject) file and change the google gms services to the latest 

dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.1'


        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }

Also if the gradle sync is still failing:

Open gradle-wrapper.properties file and replace it with following:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.6-all.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

just go to your app>> "Gradle Scripts" and open build.gradle(Project:"your project name") and change this line (classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0') to (classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0'). current version 4.0.1

Step by Step solution

1- Go to the build.gradle(module app)

2- In the dependencies, you will see the code like this

compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile  'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:23.3.0'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'

3- Now you have to ONLY replace the compile with implementation and testCompile with testImplementation. Like this

implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testImplementation  'junit:junit:4.12'
implementation  'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.3.0'
implementation  'com.android.support:support-v4:23.3.0'
implementation  'com.android.support:design:23.3.0'

4- That's all. Now click on Sync Now button.

Note- Don't change the number or version given specified in the code.

Here is the complete solution:

steps

1) Use the new dependency configurations in gradle file Replace compile with an implementation For ex:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.3'
}

Should be:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.3'
}

b) Replace testCompile with testImplementation

For ex:

testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

should be

testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'

c) For library replace compile with api

2) Upgrade classpath com.google.gms:google-services to classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.2.0' in file in build.gradle (Use latest one)

3) File -> Invalidate Cache

Still Not Working: Then try below steps

1) Close the project.

2) Delete .gradle folder.

3) Open again the project

Now it will works

Look at your dependencies in your build.gradle. anywhere you have compile, change to implementation. For example:

dependencies {
    compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.3'
}

Should be:

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.3'
}
