Android dependency NumberPickerView 1.1.5 only available on deprecated JCenter

Describe the bug Explicit Android dependency on com.henninghall.android:NumberPickerView:1.1.5 which is only available on JCenter (via Maven Central) causes android build failure when jcenter is not included in repository set.

JCenter is scheduled to sunset imminently so this component will no longer be useable after that occurs.

Expected behavior Build should succeed when jcenter is excluded from available repositories.

To Reproduce

• Create a vanilla RN project.

• Remove jcenter from android/build.gradle, add other dependencies (mavenCentral, other jcenter-only packages):

buildscript {
    ext {
        buildToolsVersion = "29.0.3"
        minSdkVersion = 21
        compileSdkVersion = 29
        targetSdkVersion = 29
        ndkVersion = "20.1.5948944"
    }
    repositories {
        google()
        // *** REMOVED THIS ***
        // jcenter()
        // *** ADDED THIS ***
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
          url "https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/"
        }
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath("com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0")
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenLocal()
        // *** ADDED THIS ***
        mavenCentral()

        maven {
            // All of React Native (JS, Obj-C sources, Android binaries) is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/react-native/android")
        }
        maven {
            // Android JSC is installed from npm
            url("$rootDir/../node_modules/jsc-android/dist")
        }

        google()
        // *** REMOVED THIS ***
        // jcenter()
        maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }

        // *** ADDED THIS ***
        // as they are not available outside jcenter at any compatible version
        jcenter() {
            content {
                includeModule( "com.facebook.fbjni", "fbjni-java-only" )
                includeModule( "com.facebook.yoga", "proguard-annotations" )
            }
        }
    }
}

• Override transient dependencies that have compatible versions off jcenter to android/app/build.gradle in the dependencies block:

dependencies {
    // preceding config removed for brevity
    if (enableHermes) {
        def hermesPath = "../../node_modules/hermes-engine/android/";
        debugImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-debug.aar")
        releaseImplementation files(hermesPath + "hermes-release.aar")
    } else {
        implementation jscFlavor
    }

    // *** ADDED THIS ***
    implementation("com.facebook.fresco:fresco") {
      version {
        strictly "2.3.0"
      }
      because "not available at 2.2.0 in maven central (transitive was pulled in by react-native:0.64.0)"
    }

    // *** ADDED THIS ***
    implementation("com.facebook.fresco:stetho") {
      version {
        strictly "2.3.0"
      }
      because "not available at 2.2.0 in maven central (transitive was pulled in by flipper-fresco-plugin:0.76.0)"
    }
}

@gesangseto dId you find any workaround? @henninghall are you planning to remove jCenter from NumberView(com.github.henninghall:numberpickerview:v1.1.5.)?

Hi @swatiredhu17, i managed to fix this by adding this to repositories:

maven { url 'https://www.jitpack.io' }

ref https://github.com/henninghall/react-native-date-picker/pull/363/files#diff-f642ff4d3d056a27ab1bd906e3054c6b81193ff68ee42a8f57132e4402bba840R22
