What is the Current Version of Gradle To Connect to Firebase in Android Studio?

Question

I was looking into creating an app on an android studio and currently, I am creating the login portion of it. I was watching a tutorial on how to do this and I followed all instructions but it gave me an error in the build.gradle (Module: app) file regarding connecting to Firebase to authenticate a user by email and password. I believe that the error is related to the version number in the code lines below: apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {
compileSdkVersion 28
buildToolsVersion "29.0.3"

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.example.simplysnap"
    minSdkVersion 15
    targetSdkVersion 28
    versionCode 1
    versionName "1.0"

    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

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

implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:28.0.0'
//The two lines below have the errors
implementation 'android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:design:1.1.0'
// Until here
implementation 'androidx.support:support-v7:28.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.support:design:28.0.0'
implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:28.0.0'
testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.12'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:28.0.0'
androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0'
compile 'com.google.api-client:google-api-client:1.22.0'
compile 'com.google.http-client:google-http-client-gson:1.22.0'

}

The error I get when trying to connect to Firebase Authentication w/ email and password is this: Could not parse the Android Application Module's Gradle config. Resolve gradle build issues and/or resync.

What is the latest version of the two lines: implementation 'android.support:appcompat-v7:28.0.0' implementation 'androidx.appcompat:design:1.1.0' And is the syntax correct? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, also, can I change the TargetSDK Version to 29 because it keeps saying that 28 isn't the latest version? – Laura Smith Jun 23 '20 at 13:27
Yeah always keep the targetsdk to latest version – sourabh karmakar Jun 23 '20 at 13:32
Okay, also I am getting an error on this line: implementation 'androidx.support:design:29.0.0' and implementation 'androidx.appcompat:design:1.1.0' Is this the wrong version? – Laura Smith Jun 23 '20 at 13:36
You need to migrate the project to androidx then this error will gone, before you migrate take a bakcup of the project here is the link to migrate the project to androidx : https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate – sourabh karmakar Jun 23 '20 at 13:42
I did that and it says that there are no uses for androidx in the project. – Laura Smith Jun 23 '20 at 13:46
use this Gradle line in the updated answer of mine and replace it with yours – sourabh karmakar Jun 23 '20 at 13:56
