Unable to get dependencies from jcenter with a new project [closed]

Question

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.

Answer 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()

...

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.
