Unable to get dependencies from jcenter with a new project

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.

I'm experiencing this as well and thought it was very weird. Since I'm not the only one, I'm thinking it may be temporary — Chisko, Mar 21 '19 at 08:35

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()

...

Not working for me. – MateenSheikh Mar 21 '19 at 09:23
@MateenSheikh , do you still get the same error? What does your build file look like? – user8810083 Mar 21 '19 at 10:32
@user8810083 jcenter is working fine now so issue is resolved. – MateenSheikh Mar 21 '19 at 12:34

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.

see the answer I just posted. Just adding mavenCentral() to both sets of repositories works for me now – user8810083 Mar 21 '19 at 09:11
The server is broken! I did a completely fresh install of android studio and can't create a new project – Benjamin Mar 21 '19 at 09:13
@Benjamin , adding mavenCentral as repository is a workaround for now – user8810083 Mar 21 '19 at 10:33

While mostly meant as a temporary, change-back-again-when-jcenter-is-working solution, this can be fixed by downgrading the gradle plugin version to 3.3.1 in the project's gradle file:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.1'

replace jcenter() with mavenCentral() because jcenter is not available now

Maybe the OP doesn't need Kotlin support – Chisko Mar 21 '19 at 09:02

Actually android studio already had the solution for you :

Syncing only active variant You can disable this experimental feature from File → Settings → Experimental → Gradle → Only sync the active variant

It's 3 days later and i was still getting random 502 errors from bintray, for links that seemed perfectly valid. Manually checking with browser / curl the pom files were there.

What eventually helped get around, was slowing gradle down by not letting it hit the links all at once. In my case, cordova/ionic project, so

ionic cordova run android -- -- --gradleArg=--max-workers=1

Passing --no-parallel should work as well
