I'm trying to build my react native app which has been working for weeks, but now I'm getting the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.

Supposedly there were incidents of jcenter going down, but they are fixed now, although I still get a 502 or 403 error when trying to access https://jcenter.bintray.com/org/webkit/android-jsc/maven-metadata.xml.

I've tried replacing jcenter() with mavenCentral() with no luck. Any ideas how I can get this working?

react-native gradle maven android

The problem seems to be jcenter(). The quickest workaround is to turn your wifi off before running the build command, then turn it on once it's up
