I am adding a Google Maps Activity to my app which is connected to a Parse server. I've simply added the maps activity and created the relevant API key and in an attempt to run the app I get the following:

I believe the error is within the gradle scripts as they are highlighted red. Thus, they are as follows:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/'
name 'Google'
}
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.2'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com/'
name 'Google'
}
}
}
ext {
compileSdkVersion = 22
buildToolsVersion = "23.0.1"
minSdkVersion = 14
targetSdkVersion = 23
}
The other gradle file is:
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
android {
compileSdkVersion 23
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'
defaultConfig {
applicationId "com.parse.starter"
minSdkVersion rootProject.ext.minSdkVersion
targetSdkVersion rootProject.ext.targetSdkVersion
versionCode 1
versionName "1.0"
multiDexEnabled true
}
dexOptions {
javaMaxHeapSize "4g"
}
buildTypes {
release {
minifyEnabled true
proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
}
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support.constraint:constraint-layout:1.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-tasks:1.3.0'
compile 'com.parse:parse-android:1.13.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:9.4.0'
compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'
}
I have tried updating the dependency version as I am getting the red error line under
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
As well as the other dependencies however the error still remains. I am very new to Android development so I have little idea to what's going on in these files.
EDIT: As soon as I comment out:
implementation 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1'
The program runs without error, but obviously, google maps is not working. Are the dependency versions incompatible with the gradle version?
