You are using implementation keyword which is not supported by your Gradle plugin (2.3.3)

You can definitely add it to your gradle you just need to use compile instead of implementation compile "androidx.biometric:biometric:1.0.0-alpha03"

If you want to use implementation you need to update your Gradle plugin. This would allow you to use newer android studio and but would require you to migrate some things to new gradle.
