buildscript {

        kotlin_version = '1.5.10'
    }
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }
        google()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0'
        classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.6'
        classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.4.1'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.4'
        classpath 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crashlytics-gradle:2.5.2'
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {

        maven {
            url 'https://maven.google.com/'
            name 'Google'
        }

    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

The plugin android-maven-gradle-plugin seems to be deprecated since the android-gradle-plugin now supports publishing to maven. See if this article helps? https://developer.android.com/studio/build/maven-publish-plugin I don't think I will be able to help further unless you can share some more details on gradle config code, or how your maven publishing is configured, or a reproducible build. — Kenny John Jacob, Aug 04 '21 at 13:30
I had similar build issue while working in the arctic fox. I am not sure but this might help you - https://stackoverflow.com/a/68664590/6390459 — Shunan, Aug 06 '21 at 04:03
compileOptions { targetCompatibility = "8" sourceCompatibility = "8" } — Denny Mathew, Aug 06 '21 at 15:10
Can I see both module and app build.gradle because the error might be in one of those. — avs, Aug 06 '21 at 19:31
What is your purpose of using com.github.dcendents.android-maven? This is a deprecated library. — Arda Kazancı, Aug 09 '21 at 09:52
it was there by default, I am not sure how it got added in the first place. but it became an issue after I got the upgrade to arctic fox gradle 7.0.0 — Denny Mathew, Aug 09 '21 at 12:06

After I made the upgrade to Artic Fox, I had to set the proper SDK for gradle in settings for things to work. By default after the update, it was still using Java 1.8, although JAVA_HOME was set properly and I had issues when applying com.android.application plugin.

Also, I removed all the JVM target params from gradle files

Installing JDK 11 and then setting `JAVA_HOME` to this JDK worked for me. – Marco7757 Aug 11 '21 at 08:05

Can you switch your,

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.0'

to,

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.2.0' // or 4.2.2

According to Gradle Plugin Release Notes I cannot see 7.0.0 listed there.

yes, as per the question. reverting it back always works. it is an attempt to upgrade to gradle 7.0.0, which is not working. – Denny Mathew Aug 08 '21 at 13:28

The maven plugin hase been removed from Gradle 7 . Check the documentation . Now you should use maven-publish plugin , to activate it add

plugins {
    id 'maven-publish'
}

or

apply plugin: 'maven-publish'

in your build script, instead using apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven'

Otherwise you have to roll back to older Gradle version.

would you please share your build.gradle of Project and app level? – Zahid Islam Aug 08 '21 at 13:33
i found something similar, but not able to understand it. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67599438/gradle-7-and-jitpack-io-runs-into-error-during-publish – Denny Mathew Aug 08 '21 at 13:34
yes, added now build.gradle at app level. – Denny Mathew Aug 08 '21 at 13:37
did you added/applied `plugin: 'maven-publish'` at the end of this gradle? then you can see publishing tasks under Gradle Task at the top of right corner of the IDE. – Zahid Islam Aug 08 '21 at 14:18
documentation for link you shared https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/publishing_maven.html#publishing_maven – Zahid Islam Aug 08 '21 at 14:27
yes. i replaced apply plugin: 'com.github.dcendents.android-maven' with apply plugin: 'maven-publish' under build.gradle(app). stil issue persists. – Denny Mathew Aug 08 '21 at 15:07
would you please attach your another build.gradle ? – Zahid Islam Aug 08 '21 at 15:09
Check `settings.gradle` , is there `plugins{}` block with id ? – Zahid Islam Aug 09 '21 at 08:55
