missing library after updating to angular 13

[abdallahkadour]

After upgrading to angular 13 I got the following problem which leads to build fail:

Could not find com.bm.photoview:library:1.4.1.
Required by:
   project :app

Does anyone has the same problem? Thanks in advance.

This is due to the update to @nativescript/android - we're no longer using jcenter or bintray by default as those have been deprecated repositories for a while and can stop working at any time now...

The plugin would need to be updated - but in the meantime you can try adding:

allprojects {
    repositories {
      jcenter()
    }
}

to your App_Resources/Android/.../app.gradle and then ns clean and rebuild/re-run.

@rigor789 Thanks for your reply, but this didn't solve the issue. I excluded the library as follows:

dependencies {
  //Execute problematic library
  configurations.all {
        exclude group: 'com.bm.photoview', module: 'library'
    }
}

To add more context to this in case it helps someone else, for me the dependency was coming from nativescript-mediafilepicker here https://github.com/jibon57/nativescript-mediafilepicker/blob/master/src/platforms/android/include.gradle#L16 so excluding it might cause issues if you are using something that depends on it.
