Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'maven' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

Question

I want to add jitpack.io as a repository in my gradle file. This is my gradle root file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.21"

        classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.38.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Since I DON'T have a "allrepositories" to put my dependency there (only works there), I've created and added this code after buildscript code:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {url 'https://www.jitpack.io'}
    }
}

But this is the error I get

Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserCodeException: Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'maven' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

Answer 1

Gradle 6.8 introduced central declaration of repositories, new way to define repositories. Latest documentation (7.4.2) can be found here.

Remove the dependencyResolutionManagement block from the setting.gradle file to have your project work the old way.
