    Breaking Change: Because of migration to Kotlin and gradle version updating, you will need to add some changes to the build.gradle files:

    1. Delete old libraries from app/libs directory:

       google-http-client-1.19.0.jar
       google-http-client-android-1.19.0.jar
       google-http-client-gson-1.19.0.jar
       google-http-client-jackson2-1.19.0.jar
       guava-18.0.jar
       jackson-core-2.1.3.jar
       java-api-core-4.2.1.jar
       kinvey-android-4.2.1.aar
       pubnub-gson-4.18.0-all.jar
       realm-android-library-3.2.1.aar
       realm-annotations-3.2.1.jar
       realm-annotations-processor-3.2.1.jar
       realm-transformer-3.2.1.jar
       relinker-1.2.2.aar
       rxjava-1.1.0.jar

       and Add new version of java-api-core-x.x.x.jar and kinvey-android-x.x.x.aar.

    2. Remove from build.gradle (app module)

       dependencies {
          implementation ':realm-android-library:+@aar'
          implementation ':relinker:+@aar'
       }

    3. Apply Realm plugin to build.gradle (app module) apply plugin: 'realm-android' and add Realm plugin to classpath in build.gradle (project module)

       buildscript {
          dependencies {
              classpath 'io.realm:realm-gradle-plugin:5.8.0'
          }
       }

    4. Add third part libraries as dependency

       implementation('com.google.api-client:google-api-client-android:1.19.0') {
            exclude(module: 'google-play-services')
            exclude(module: 'xpp3')
       }
       implementation 'com.google.http-client:google-http-client-android:1.19.0'
       implementation('com.google.http-client:google-http-client-gson:1.19.0') {
            exclude(module: 'xpp3')
       }

       Also if you use LiveService to add:
       implementation group: 'com.pubnub', name: 'pubnub-gson', version: '4.18.0'

    5. Add Compatibility with Java 8

       android {
          compileOptions {
            sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
            targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
          }
