1. Configure the Repository

Add the JitPack repository to your root settings.gradle or settings.gradle.kts file under the dependencyResolutionManagement block.

settings.gradle.kts

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven("https://jitpack.io")
    }
}

settings.gradle

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

2. Add the Dependency

Choose the method that matches your project setup.

Version Catalog

Add the following configuration to your gradle/libs.versions.toml file:

[versions]
androidOpenssl = "3.5.6"

[libraries]
android-openssl = { module = "com.github.nextcloud-releases:android-openssl", version.ref = "androidOpenssl" }

Then, reference it in your app-level build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
    implementation(libs.android.openssl)
}

app/build.gradle.kts

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.nextcloud-releases:android-openssl:3.5.6")
}

app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.nextcloud-releases:android-openssl:3.5.6'
}
