Unable to get dependencies from jcenter with a new project

11,163

Solution 1

jcenter is currently down. In the end adding mavenCentral() to both sets of repositories in the project build.gradle file worked as a workaround for me:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
        jcenter()

...

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral() 
        google() 
        jcenter()

...

Solution 2

Downgrade Gradle version is not a good fix for me. I did google around and found this. Jcenter is dead. For now.

I think all we can do is wait.

Solution 3

While mostly meant as a temporary, change-back-again-when-jcenter-is-working solution, this can be fixed by downgrading the gradle plugin version to 3.3.1 in the project's gradle file:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'

Solution 4

replace jcenter() with mavenCentral() because jcenter is not available now

Solution 5

There is a problem in Downloads section with Partial Outage in jfrog bintray (https://status.bintray.com/incidents/2wvx6d5f807c):

Intermittent download issues in Bintray

You can see the current status in https://status.bintray.com/

Update Status from jfrog Bintray:

Update - There are still intermittent download issues in Oregon region (north America). We are still working on identifying the root cause.

I'm unable to get kotlin pom from jcenter with a new project.

All I have done is gone File->New Project and created a new project with no activity.

I'm getting the following error when it tries to build:
```
ERROR: Could not GET 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8/1.3.21/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.3.21.pom'. Received status code 502 from server: Bad Gateway Enable Gradle 'offline mode' and sync project
```
My build.gradle
```
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.2'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()

    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}
```
If I go in my web browser to that URL I can't connect either. https://jcenter.bintray.com/

Does this mean the site is temporarily down or is there something I need to add to my build files?

BTW I selected Java for the project and not Kotlin on setup if that matters so not even sure why it's trying to get kotlin stuff.

  I'm experiencing this as well and thought it was very weird. Since I'm not the only one, I'm thinking it may be temporary

  maybe we should not upgrade the gradle to 3.3.2 yet

Maybe the OP doesn't need Kotlin support

@Chisko I'm still getting the same error as OP

this didn't work for me, but see the answer I just posted. Just adding mavenCentral() to both sets of repositories works for me now

The server is broken! I did a completely fresh install of android studio and can't create a new project

@MateenSheikh , do you still get the same error? What does your build file look like?

@Benjamin , adding mavenCentral as repository is a workaround for now

@user8810083 jcenter is working fine now so issue is resolved.
