Answer 1

What I have found out is gms:play-services:11.8.0 has conflicts with support:appcompat-v7:26.1.0

disabling any one will work.

I suggest using a specific module of play services. You can check the list here https://developers.google.com/android/guides/setup

Also use com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.5.1 as the 2.6.0 uses sdk v27
