you need to define the repository in the root project's build.gradle:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
    }
}

these versions are a) completely outdated and b) do not mix com.android.support with androidx. and you cannot add Java dependencies into the buildscript dependencies, because this produces the error message Could not find method implementation().

and maybe read the manual of this site, in order to provide input as a programmer would expect. only because you have a Mac does not exclude you from these guidelines ...which do exist for a reason.

DO NOT post images of code, data, error messages, etc. - copy or type the text into the question. Please reserve the use of images for diagrams or demonstrating rendering bugs, things that are impossible to describe accurately via text.

I could have simply fixed the dependencies, too... but I'm way too lazy to type from screenshots.
