I'm using gradle version 7.0.0-beta4 and it required a compulsory opt-in to use insure libraries
maven {
url "http://dl.bintray.com/androidessence/maven"
allowInsecureProtocol = true
}
After adding this, I was not still able to use the library in my project
To overcome this I had to host the library on jitpack and you can access it here while waiting for a fix from the maintaining. This is unlikely though since it has been a long time since this was updated;.
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.photizzo:MaterialDesignSpecs-develop:2.0.1'
}
