Replace`mavenCentral()` from `buildscript` -> `repositories ` with `maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' }`. Might Help — Abhishek Dutt, Oct 18 '21 at 16:37

Place it in your build.gradle to replace jcenter in all your dependencies

allprojects {
    repositories {
        def REPOSITORY_URL = "https://repo1.maven.org/maven2"
        all { ArtifactRepository repo ->
            if(repo instanceof MavenArtifactRepository){
                def url = repo.url.toString()
                if (url.startsWith('https://jcenter.bintray.com/')) {
                    project.logger.lifecycle "Repository ${repo.url} replaced by $REPOSITORY_URL."
                    remove repo
                }
            }
        }
        maven {
            url REPOSITORY_URL
        }
        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Local Maven repo containing AARs with JSC library built for Android
            url "$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist"
        }
        mavenCentral {
            // We don't want to fetch react-native from Maven Central as there are
            // older versions over there.
            content {
                excludeGroup "com.facebook.react"
            }
        }
        google()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }
  }
}
