I had a similar problem, what I did to solve it was change my compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion to 28 in the app module's build.gradle file, and then migrate the project to AndroidX using Android Studio ("Tools > Migrate to AndroidX", or something along those lines.)

following solution worked for me; using this library with Kotlin:

In build.gradle (Module: app)
replace this: api 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.8.+'
with this: api 'com.theartofdev.edmodo:android-image-cropper:2.7.0'

It may give you warning but works for me.

Reduced it from 28.+ to 27.+

But 2.7 with OVAL shape is not working in Android P. Any hack for it?
