I updated my project to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.4'
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-7.0.2-all.zip

now I am phasing this problem.

A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.

Failed to apply plugin 'com.fernandocejas.frodo'.
Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.fernandocejas.frodo:frodo-api:0.8.3] on object of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dsl.dependencies.DefaultDependencyHandler.
