Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0]

Trying to build a react native project, and cannot compile appcompat

Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.

build.gradle

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "28.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 28
        targetSdkVersion = 27
        supportLibVersion = "28.0.0"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
        compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0'
        compile 'com.android.support:support-annotations:25.0.0'
        compile 'com.android.support:design:25.0.0'
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        google()
        jcenter()
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android"
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/expo-camera/android/maven"
        }
    }
}


task wrapper(type: Wrapper) {
    gradleVersion = '4.7'
    distributionUrl = distributionUrl.replace("bin", "all")
}

UPDATE changing to implementation yields

ERROR: Could not find method implementation() for arguments [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.0] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler
