can you please try with:

android/build.gradle

repositories {
    // ...
    jcenter()
}

[liamgarrison]

can you please try with:

android/build.gradle

repositories {
    // ...
    jcenter()
}

Works for me! Thanks

[ferdicus]

notice, that this is probably just a temporary workaround as jcenter as a dep repo is no longer maintained indefinitely (some time 2022 I believe). I couldn't get it to work with mavenCentral unfortunately, although I believe, that mapbox did move their deps there 😕

[danidaryaweesh]

Is there any update soon to make this library work without jcenter() ?

nah, not in the works atm - feel free to open a PR though.

Also jcenter not gonna shut down anymore, so that's that 🤷🏿

works for me, really thank you

jcenter() is no longer supported in new RN versions

jcenter.bintray.com is consistently returning error codes today. Because of that, we are removing jcenter from build.gradle to unblock Android builds locally. Doing so results in the error mentioned in this Issue's original description.

Despite the fact that Jfrog says it will maintain it as read-only indefinitely, my team has seen issues where Jcenter + Bintray are unavailable which blocks any new Android builds.

It would be beneficial to move these dependencies to an actively-maintained dependency repository, like mavenCentral, to avoid the potential pain caused by jcenter's reliability diminishing over time.

I also saw this Pull Request that references the flakiness of jcenter in January of this year.

We spent the majority of the morning trying to fix this issue. Seems the conclusion was that jcenter was down and now it is back up. We are using React-Native 0.64.1, because some dependencies have not yet updated, and jcenter was still kept on as read only.

Hi we're experiencing the same issue, are you able to resolve the issue by now?

[Bad-Listener]

Still not building...Any news or workaround?

Thanks!

[ryanjwessel]

The Getting Started docs for Android does explain how to use mavenCentral over jCenter for this dependency. It does require more setup to provide the secret access token but should resolve this issue. I have not tried this yet, but it seems like it should work.

[Bad-Listener]

I confirm, it's the only way to build right now getting rid of jcenter dependencies. Thanks mate!

PS. Be aware to follow the process of issuing a download token, and everything should be fine!

[xaiamov]

As @ryanjwessel said, you can get rid of the deprecated jcenter() with a mapbox repo.

This is a step by step guide:

1. Authorize here: https://account.mapbox.com/access-tokens/create/
2. Check the box "DOWNLOADS:READ" and create a new token.
3. Insert into android/gradle.properties your token: MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN=<here>
4. Replace "jcenter()" with "mavenCentral()" in android/build.gradle and put the code under allprojects -> repositories:

	maven {
            url 'https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven'
            authentication {
                basic(BasicAuthentication)
            }
            credentials {
                // Do not change the username below.
                // This should always be `mapbox` (not your username).
                username = 'mapbox'
                // Use the secret token you stored in gradle.properties as the password
                password = project.properties['MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN'] ?: ""
            }
       }

Doesn't matter if you had maven records before. This should work.

I've followed these instructions to the letter but still no joy

[m7amad-7asan]

@Dakuan Did you find anyway to fix it ?
