Execution failed for task ':Application:processDebugManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 8 cannot be smaller than version 14 declared in library [com.android.support:support-v4:27.0.2] /Users/ernestzamelczyk/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/support-v4-27.0.2.aar/17ff0bf30fe04b2fb675ed82edfff8e4/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 8
  	Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 8,
  		or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 14,
  		or use tools:overrideLibrary="android.support.v4" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)
