For errors like this, you have tried to add “implementation ‘Android x.appcompat: appcompat: 1.0.0-alpha1’, but it still fails. You can try the following method to solve it

Enter caches under. Gradle

Delete transform-1 and restart Android studio (file → invalidate caches/restart → invalidate caches and restart)
