Project does not compile with Android Studio v3.1.3

[protonforest]

Using latest version of Android Studio, the project does not compile.

"Unsupported method: BaseConfig.getApplicationIdSuffix().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.
"

Please advise.

Here is the solution for this problem :

1. In build.gradle, change classpath to "classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.3.2'
2. To the top "Try again"
3. You should see a new error in red in the Build Tab towards the bottom
   "The SDK Build Tools revision (22.0.0) is too low for project ':app'. Minimum required is 25.0.0
   Install Build Tools 25.0.0, update version in build file and sync project
   Open File"
   Click the "Install Build Tools 25.0.0"...Let it download and install. It will auto-build when finished.
4. You should see a similar error again: "The SDK Build Tools revision (22.0.0) is too low for project ':webrtc-client'. Minimum required is 25.0.0. Update Build Tools version and sync project
   Open File".
   Notice the "webrtc-client" instead of app. Select "Update Build tools..."
   Step 5: A window should pop up. Select Update.

Step 6: You will see more errors in the Build tab. Working through them 1 by 1. Update everything.
Step 7 (optional): Update the word "compile" to "implementation in your build.gradle under app/.

Step 8: Run your app. I recommend you download an older image of android. The latest version of Lollipop is sufficient for most applications. You can change this later easily. Let it install. Run the app on the lollipop image. Done.

Should I submit this to the ReadMe in a PR?
