Execution failed for task ':react-native-firebase:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'

Question

In my React Native 0.60.4 app i'm trying to use react-native-firebaseand i have done everything except react-native-link as it's not supported in the latest version of React Native. When i give command react-native-run-android,it shows a lot of errors from the node module of react-native-firebase. I'm guessing it's happening for some version conflict. Here is the long error :

Here's my app build/gradle file dependencies:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: "libs", include: ["*.jar"])
    implementation "com.facebook.react:react-native:+" 
    implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.9"

      releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
      implementation jscFlavor
    }
}

task copyDownloadableDepsToLibs(type: Copy) {
    from configurations.compile
    into 'libs'
}

apply from: file("../../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-android/native_modules.gradle"); applyNativeModulesAppBuildGradle(project)
apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native-vector-icons/fonts.gradle"
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

And my android build/gradle :

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 28
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
        googlePlayServicesVersion = "16.1.0" 
        multiDexEnabled = true
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath('com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.4.2')
        classpath( 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0')

    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenLocal()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

    }
}
