React-native Android build fails with: Could not resolve com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:9.7.1.

Describe the bug

I have a very basic react-native app that builds and runs perfectly in iOS. When I build it in Android Studio, the result is:

Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.

Anyone succeded in building an app on Android with MapBox ? We’ve been stuck on this issue for a few weeks, seems odd to me that it can’t be built.

I think I am having similar issues where I can’t get dependencies from bintray. The build consistently fails and has failed for the past month for me all related to bintray. I haven’t tried the example directly as that won’t do me much good. I have used the build.gradle with no luck. It’s trying to pull in dependencies from bintray and bintray is unaccessible for me and has been for a while. Any advice?
