support default gradle version coming with RN

Project created by react-native init .. won't compile because implementation() is not supported by specified gradle version

This is an invalid merge. implementation should be used everywhere. The react-native init is outdated. but you should update it yourself. No need to revert to compile. Compile is depricated

This library is built to work with react-native, so in my opinion it should follow react-native configuration and not force users to update gradle.
Even though you will be warned that compile is depricated during compilatation if you update your gradle, it will still compile the project, but with older (RN default) version and using implementation it won't.

In my opinion if you build a library you don't want to use outdated versions. React native init istself is outdated as well. Where I work we never use react native init. we build our own template project. This way the template project is never outdated
