Migrate from JCenter to MavenCentral (or another provider)

[kohenkatz]

JFrog announced that they'll be shutting down JCenter:

Key dates are:

March 31st: JCenter stopped accepting new uploades
May 1st: JCenter API and web UI will no longer be available
February 1st, 2022: JCenter will stop allowing downloads

Android Studio warns developers that "JCenter is at end of life" and prompts them to remove jcenter() from their build.gradle files.

Moving to MavenCentral is fairly easy - see https://central.sonatype.org/publish/

Hello,

Android Developer is also showing the warning that JCenter is going out of service.
I hope that the library is moved to the Maven repository before the JCenter is down.

Thank you for your help

Best regards
Andreas

I think we will rather use JitPack. Seems way easier to use and maintain?

[andrblum]

Thanks for your answer.
As long as it is usable from Android Studio, the repository should not matter.
(I have no experience with JitPack.)

Any progress on this?

We got an issue here: X-Guard/react-native-flic2#27

JCenter is already not serving it anymore?

Seems offline indeed: https://jcenter.bintray.com/io/flic/flic2lib-android/1.1.0/flic2lib-android-1.1.0.aar

I modified the README with instructions on how to use JitPack instead, which seems to be working fine. It automatically builds and hosts the needed files directly from the GitHub repo, which I think is pretty nice.

Your instructions worked perfectly.
Thank you very much! :-)
