As AS suggests could not find method implementation() for arguments which means the gradle does not recognize your implementation in gradle. It implies that you are using an old version of gradle, when compile method was used.

NOTE:

So, the solution is to update your gradle to the latest version and try again. Method implementation is supported in versions 3.4 or later.

I'm using

targetSdkVersion 28
com.google.firebase: firebase-ml-model-interpreter: 16.0.0

And I don't have this problem. Try to update the libraries.

To solve this, please change the following lines of code:

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-model-interpreter:15.0.0'

to

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-ml-model-interpreter:16.0.0'

See here more informations.

Please also update in your build.gradle file (project), the following dependencies:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.4'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.0.2'

Update gradle and

then:

in build.grade(app):

replace compile -> implementation

repace androidTestCompile ->androidTestImplementation

replace testCompile ->testImplementation

in build.grade(project):

    allprojects {
       repositories {
        jcenter()
        google() // Google's Maven repository . add this line here<br>
    }
}

Make sure you have added the Google maven respository to your root build.gradle

allprojects {
    // ...
    repositories {
        // ...
        google() // Google's Maven repository
    }
}

Comment or delete this line: implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:15.0.2' the project will build and run - work your way up from here.

This is what worked for me.
