Android build is failing. 502 Bad Gateway

Description

I am trying to build an android release in AppCenter and I am getting the following error:

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalStagingRelease'.
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':react-native-screens:releaseRuntimeClasspath'.
   > Could not resolve com.facebook.react:react-native:+.
     Required by:
         project :react-native-screens
      > Failed to list versions for com.facebook.react:react-native.
         > Unable to load Maven meta-data from https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/facebook/react/react-native/maven-metadata.xml.
            > Could not get resource 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/facebook/react/react-native/maven-metadata.xml'.
               > Could not GET 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/facebook/react/react-native/maven-metadata.xml'. Received status code 502 from server: Bad Gateway

I think its related to jcenter but I am unsure of how I need to sort this out. I saw a PR here which possibly sort this issue out and I am wondering if there is any other solution here.

I made a PR that removes jcenter: 1270

I have for now resolved this issue by adding the following code into root build.gradle of the android app. Turns out the + was causing the issue so by specifying a version the problem got resolved and I was able to build. I am going to leave this issue open to get some thoughts from other people too.
