I've been working on this for weeks and can't find a resolution.

I have a native app that I've been buildling with expo. IT runs perfectly for the ios simulator. But, when I try to run it with android, it stalls, showing this message:

enter image description here

This is a thread I referenced: Content is not allowed in prolog during Gradle build

Where they recommend deleting the contents of the shown files. Of note, I didn't have a build_cache, but I erased the files, and I'm still getting the same error.

IN truth, the error looks more like this:

Task :app:checkDebugAarMetadata FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. .

WARNING:: Please remove usages of jcenter() Maven repository from your build scripts and migrate your build to other Maven repositories.

I commented out jcenter() in build.gradle. IS it anywhere else? Do you have any other ideas?

Thank you for considering this!

In gradle there is a default cache folder, so you might need to delete it as well. You can look at the following post for instructions how to do so: how to clear gradle cache

In addition, in gradle you may also have a repository definition in the file settings.gradle. try checking that you do not have the jcenter repository referenced there.
