Allow insecure protocols, android gradle

Question

I recently updated my android studio to Arctic Fox and got an error in my project

A problem occurred configuring root project 'so10'. > Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':classpath'.    > Using insecure protocols with repositories, without explicit opt-in, is     unsupported. Switch Maven repository  'maven3(http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots)' to redirect to a secure protocol (like HTTPS) or allow insecure protocols.  See https://docs.gradle.org/7.0.2/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.UrlArtifactRepository.html#org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.UrlArtifactRepository:allowInsecureProtocol for more details.  

This is my gradle where the problem occurs

repositories {     // maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }     maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }     maven { url 'https://raw.github.com/Raizlabs/maven-releases/master/releases' }     maven { url 'http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots'}     maven { url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/" }     maven { url 'https://maven.google.com'  }     google()     mavenCentral()     jcenter() } 

How do I solve it?

For insecure HTTP connections in Gradle 7+ versions, we need to specify a boolean allowInsecureProtocol as true to MavenArtifactRepository closure.
Since you have received this error for sonatype repository, you need to set the repositories as below:

repositories {     //  maven { url "https://maven.fabric.io/public" }     maven {         url "https://jitpack.io"     }     maven {         url "https://raw.github.com/Raizlabs/maven-releases/master/releases"     }     maven {         url "http://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots"         allowInsecureProtocol = true     }     maven {         url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"     }     maven {         url "https://maven.google.com"     }     google()     mavenCentral()     jcenter() }
