Why removing jcenter() repository fails my Android Application build for sqlite-android:3.36.0

I've updated my Android Application gradle to use AGP 7.0

my gradle repositories resembles this

repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        jcenter()
    }

This shows that JCenter Maven repository is no longer receiving updates: newer library versions may be available elsewhere

When I remove jcenter() my build fails with this error

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDevelopmentDebugNativeLibs'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:developmentDebugRuntimeClasspath'.
   > Could not find io.requery:sqlite-android:3.34.1.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/io/requery/sqlite-android/3.34.1/sqlite-android-3.34.1.pom
       - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/io/requery/sqlite-android/3.34.1/sqlite-android-3.34.1.pom
     Required by:
         project :app > project :background:worker > project :background:database

As my application employs api 'io.requery:sqlite-android:3.34.1'

The requery GitHub README.md file states I need to use the following gradle entry

allprojects {
        repositories {
            ...
            maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
        }
    }

However adding the above does not fix my gradle build error

Where am I going wrong?

I updated to sqlite-android:3.36.0 and stil get...

I have identified the issue

When I have this entry my build works:-

implementation 'com.github.requery:sqlite-android:3.36.0'

When I have this entry my build fails:-

api 'com.github.requery:sqlite-android:3.36.0'
