Android Jitpack builds failing

Refer to https://jitpack.io/#LiquidPlayer/LiquidCore

From 0.70 onward the Android Jitpack builds are failing, causing gradle sync failures when trying to use 0.7.0+ in my project.

The alternative of using % npm i -g liquidcore-cli yields the same gradle sync failures.

Jitpack has been deprecated from 0.7.0+ because it requires a deprecated gradle plugin (see #128). Please remove the implementation line for jitpack. The input.gradle file manages downloading the artifacts.

@ericwlange Apologies for sounding dumb, but where do I find the implementation line for jitpack? Are you referring to maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } under my project's top-level build.gradle?

What I have tried is to remove implementation 'com.github.LiquidPlayer:LiquidCore:0.7.0' from my app-level build.gradle to no avail. Changing liquidcore.build.gradle to use 0.6.2 works fine, but 0.7.0 fails.

Remove everything related to JitPack: both maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } and implementation 'com.github.LiquidPlayer:LiquidCore:0.7.0'.

Jitpack is no longer supported with LiquidCore.

Instead, follow the installation instructions on either the main README if you are using Node.js functionality or the updated README for just using the JavaScript engine.

From now on (or until I find a better way), distribution is happening through npm, so you can't skip the npm setup steps.

Thank you, that cleared it up.

I also had to add the following to the top-level build.gradle

buildscript {
    dependencies {
        classpath 'de.undercouch:gradle-download-task:1.2'
    }
}
ext {
    Download = de.undercouch.gradle.tasks.download.Download
    download = download
}

and this to the module's

apply plugin: 'de.undercouch.download'

to get the Gradle Download Task dependency working.

@kaneelyster Interesting -- I haven't needed to do that. Let me investigate. Thanks! Glad you got it working.
