Is JCenter down permanently (31 Oct)?-CodePudding

   > Failed to list versions for com.google.http-client:google-http-client-android.

I was trying to build an Android app, but I got the above error. When I connect to “https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/google/http-client/google-http-client-android/maven-metadata.xml”, an nginx 403 error appears. Is JCenter down? What should I do?

CodePudding user response：

tldr;

Yes. jCenter is down right now. jCenter was sunset a while ago and remained available in read-only mode. So far no upadte on when it will be available again. Depending your situation, you have quick or not so-quick options for you.

Where can I check status?

update: New incident is reported here.

for me solution from @dKen helped, but I've changed this like:

  all { ArtifactRepository repo ->
            println repo.url.toString()
            if (repo.url.toString().startsWith("https://jcenter.bintray.com/")) {
                project.logger.warn "Repository ${repo.url} removed."
                remove repo
                maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/jcenter" }
            }
        }

I am a Flutter developer. We have many third plugins. So just modifing every project's build.gradle too much heavy and can solve 'transitive dependency'. This is my solution.

cd ~/.gradle/
touch init.gradle
copy below txt to init.gradle

allprojects{
    repositories {
        def REPOSITORY_URL = 'https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/jcenter'
        all { ArtifactRepository repo ->
            if(repo instanceof MavenArtifactRepository){
                def url = repo.url.toString()
                if (url.startsWith('https://jcenter.bintray.com/')) {
                    project.logger.lifecycle "Repository ${repo.url} replaced by $REPOSITORY_URL."
                    remove repo
                }
            }
        }
        maven {
            url REPOSITORY_URL
        }
    }
}

Same problem, check the gradle status here https://status.gradle.com/

'JCenter downtime impact on resolution'

This also works for me

    // jcenter()
    def REPOSITORY_URL = "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2"
    all { ArtifactRepository repo ->
        if(repo instanceof MavenArtifactRepository){
            def url = repo.url.toString()
            if (url.startsWith('https://jcenter.bintray.com/')) {
                project.logger.lifecycle "Repository ${repo.url} replaced by $REPOSITORY_URL."
                remove repo
            }
        }
    }
    maven {
        url REPOSITORY_URL
    }

CodePudding user response：

Thank you everyone. I solved with this.

google()
mavenCentral()
gradlePluginPortal()
maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }
maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/jcenter" }

removing jcenter(), after that adding gradlePluginPortal() and maven { url "https://maven.aliyun.com/repository/jcenter" }
