Solution

  • In your dependencies, you have 

    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:+'

    This dependecy need the Android SDK 14 or higher. TO fix this, change your min Android SDK version to 14 :

    minSdkVersion 14

    Edit : set Compile SDK Version to the same value as Build tools version :

    compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion "27.0.3"
