Hey @Andersonfrfilho
I advice you to do the following:

1. I see you're specifying the repository in two places:

buildscript {
  repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url "https://zendesk.jfrog.io/zendesk/repo/" }
  }
}

...

repositories {
  mavenCentral()
  google()
  maven { url "https://zendesk.jfrog.io/zendesk/repo/" }
}

you practically need only this:

repositories {
  maven { url "https://zendesk.jfrog.io/zendesk/repo/" }
}

as mavenCentral() and google() are already included for you if you're in React Native 0.72

2. I'll be closing this issue as the problem you're having is with the library template, so you will have to open another issue here https://github.com/callstack/react-native-builder-bob/issues and ask for further support

@cortinico, I believe you did not understand the problem, we were developing a test of a new native module for react-native, the example project requires that the repository be added to the folders:
https://github.com/Andersonfrfilho/sunshine-module-react-native/blob/main/example/android/build.gradle, but when adding it there it has no effect except when we remove mavenCentral()
The problem is not in the library but in the react-native android build

Hey @Andersonfrfilho you have some progress in this issue?
I had the same problem with Maven URL repos.

[Andersonfrfilho]

@eduardoborges, I had to download and import the module manually using Android Studio in the react-native project

[eduardoborges]

@Andersonfrfilho in the library on directly on your rn app? Can you give me more details?

Any update plz

I'm facing the same problem too

[wirrareka]

stumbled upon this one too, wrapping the repositories inside allprojects solved it for me

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://maven.yolo.com/android-releases/" }
    }
}
