(bug): Android build fails - jcenter() dependency problem

[tbuckel]

Bug Report

Current Behavior:

I've tried adding V1.5.4 and master to my Cordova10 project. In both cases the build fails as Android is unable to resolve the dependencies gun0912.ted:tedpermission-rx2:2.2.2 and gun0912.ted:tedonactivityresult-rx2:1.0.6.

Expected Behavior:

Successful build

Steps to reproduce:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/EinfachHans/cordova-plugin-advanced-imagepicker#V1.5.4
cordova build android

Screenshots:

Environment information:

• Cordova CLI version
  • cordova -v => 10.0.0
• Cordova platform version
  • cordova platform ls
• Plugins & versions installed in project (including this plugin)
  • cordova plugin ls
• Dev machine OS and version, e.g.

Additional information

Looks like the missing dependencies are in the not retired jcenter repository (https://blog.gradle.org/jcenter-shutdown) and cannot be found in mavenCentral. Only newer versions are in mavenCentral.

I solved in this way:

• add in confix.xml: <preference name="GradlePluginKotlinEnabled" value="true"/>
• check if "gradle.properties" file in folder "platforms/android" contains the attribute: android.useAndroidX=true
• create file "build-extras.gradle" in folder "platforms/android" with this content:

repositories {
  google()
  mavenCentral()
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.ParkSangGwon:tedimagepicker:1.2.2'
}

• add the plugin cordova plugin add https://github.com/EinfachHans/cordova-plugin-advanced-imagepicker

• start the application cordova run android

Having just installed this plugin and migrating my project to cordova-android 10.1.1, I can confirm the fix above by @jon-88 does solve the compilation errors caused by the missing dependency.
