On Thursday, May 5 at 8:00 Pacific time, we will be updating our Artifactory configuration such that our libs-release, plugins-release, and libs-snapshot repositories will no longer proxy for certain third-party maven repositories, including MavenCentral and https://plugins.gradle.org. You will likely not have to make any changes as a result of this reconfiguration since we have updated our build.gradle files in the develop branch as well as all currently supported release versions to declare the required external repositories separately. However, if you maintain your own build.gradle file that includes a repositories {} configuration, you may need to add

     mavenCentral() 

at the top of that configuration block or add a separate

        maven { url: “https://some.repository.url” }

declaration in order to properly resolve external artifacts.

If you have questions or problems as a result of this, please let us know.
