I can't find any an information about why this is happening bar adding 'www.' to 'https://www.jitpack.io' but it already has that.
'react-native run-android' was working yesterday, since then I changed emulator and also changed java version.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

JCenter is going to shutdown and now is READ-ONLY. And it is getting offline often causing issues with builds and pipelines.
In summary
You will require to update your android/build.gradle file to use mavenCentral() instead of Jcenter().
As per Gradle documentation, JCenter is a mirror of Maven Central, so all of your dependencies should be there.
JCenter is a central artifact repository, like Maven Central. Software
projects use JCenter to distribute their software to other people.
JCenter also serves as a mirror for Maven Central, so any dependencies
available on Maven Central are also available on JCenter (but not vice
versa).
A few things to consider:
In case it is a library (e.g node_modules/react-native-appsflyer), pointing to Jcenter, that is giving you an error... I would advise you to check the library giving you an error has updated a new version with a fix. In case so, update to the new
version to get the changes.
In case the library doesn't have versions with the fix, if you are building in React-native using npm packages, you could potentially take advantage of patch-package library. Because there will a possibility the libraries have not yet released the update removing JCenter from build.gradle.
Applying the patch
You can apply the changes yourself using the Patch Package library. Documentation added in the end for reference.
Go to node_modules/library-with-error/android/build.gradle
Change jcenter() to mavenCentral()
Run: npx patch-package library-with-error
Git add, commit and push
Personal notes:
I did advise the full removal of JCenter instead of adding MavenCentral() to the top because of the shutdown and that JCenter is often getting offline and giving timeout errors.
Based on the current timeline, builds that use JCenter will be able to
resolve dependencies until February 1, 2022 without changes. After
that date, there are no guarantees that you will be able to build
your software if you continue to use JCenter."
Also, Gradle is discouraging the usage of JCenter.
"To discourage new projects from using JCenter, we will be removing
JCenter from our samples and init templates. The new default will be
Maven Central. Gradle itself has no inherent tie to JCenter or Maven
Central, so you can always switch any other repository of your choice.
This change will be effective with the next Gradle release – Gradle
7.0."
In case of dependencies (pom, jar) are not added to Maven, here are instructions on how to add. Add that to the PR with discussions to collaborate.
Useful Links
Add --use-yarn to patch-package command in case your project uses Yarn.

We also just ran into this. I believe JCenter is down right now. https://status.bintray.com/

React Native - Run Android - Could not find common.jar (android.arch.core:common:1.0.0) [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Error:Failed to resolve: android.arch.core:common:1.1.0
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
When run react-native run-android, I got this error :
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.
> A problem occurred configuring project ':react-native-device-info'.
> Could not find common.jar (android.arch.core:common:1.0.0).
Searched in the following locations:
https://jcenter.bintray.com/android/arch/core/common/1.0.0/common-1.0.0.jar
* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

I found this solution and works for me:
add maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } in line 18 in file android/build.gradle

If you are using jcenter() and maven {url "https://maven.google.com"} make sure that maven {url "https://maven.google.com"} is written first (upper in code).
android.arch.core:common:1.0.0 exists in jcenter(), but doesn't have .jar file there and thats why build fails. Using Google Maven first fixes this problem, because .jar exist there.
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://maven.google.com' } // <--- This needs to be before jcenter().
jcenter()
}
}

In my case, it was a network issue with my Wifi (proxy...). Try to switch network with mobile data for example.

I updated my root projects build gradle version and all the support libraries to latest version and its working now, you can check it go through, build.gradle(root project) -> buildscript -> dependencies-> classpath->
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.your_latest_version'
also make sure your compileSdkVersion and buildToolsVersion are latest
and once check version of distributionUrl also from gradle-wrapper.properties file

Please help me, thanks.

You can try upload your local library (in user/.gradle/caches) to Jenkins server, It 's work for me.

I don't think that run the build with super user rights is a good solution, because it's not seems to be possible to resolve dependencies.
Just a suggestion how to solve it: Gradle has it's own local cache for dependencies and doesn't need to download them on every build. So you may use the same Gradle distribution, which is used by Jenkins, and once build your application manually with su rights, to resolve all dependencies and cache them.
Just to note, by default dependencies with dynamic versions are cached for 24 hours only, as it's said in the official docs, but you can change it as:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.cacheDynamicVersionsFor 10, 'minutes'
resolutionStrategy.cacheChangingModulesFor 4, 'hours'
}

Build Android APK in Redhat using Gradle in Offline mode

I am using Gradle 2.13 and trying to build android apk in readhat and system does not have internet access.
I am trying to build android apk offline. But it is throwing some exception and not able to figure out what went wrong.
Main build.gradle

Version :

Gradle 2.13
Is there any tutorial available to build an offline apk in redhat/linux machine?
Edit: Update the question.

It happens because the gradle plugin for android 2.13 doesn't exist.
The latest stable version is 2.1.0. Use:
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'
}
}
Don't confuse gradle distribution and the android plugin for gradle.
You can define the gradle distribution used by a project in the file
gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties
For example:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.10-all.zip

You need to install "Android Support Repository" from the Android SDK manager. (a.k.a extra-android-m2repository if installing from the command line)
**OR**
You need to install "Android Support Library(Obsolete)" from the Android SDK manager.

This issue exists in Android studio Beta versions
The only solution is to use
repositories {
maven {
url 'https://maven.google.com'
}
}
in project gradle file

Installing both Android Support Library and Local Maven Repository for Support Libraries from the Android SDK manager (Extras section) fixed this issue for me.

If you are using Android SDK command line tools, type:
sdkmanager "extras;android;m2repository"
The SDK manager will install the m2 repository

try compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.0'

I fixed it by adding google() in allprojects node on top-level build.gradle file. Here is my top level file for reference
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
mavenLocal()
google()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
jcenter()
google()
}
}
