Transition to Maven Central

In February 2021, JFrog announced on their blog that JCenter and Bintray are being deprecated. New packages can be uploaded to JCenter until May 1st, 2021 and packages will be served until February 1st, 2022. See the linked blog post for the latest updates.

Since we provide the Zendrive SDK to you via JCenter, we want you to know that we're on top of this. There will be minimum interruption of service from Zendrive. This is what you need to know:

  1. If you're an existing Zendrive customer, you will not be affected until JCenter shuts down in February 2022.

  2. Future SDK releases will be uploaded exclusively to Maven Central.

  3. Some older versions of SDK will be uploaded to Maven Central so that they're available even after JCenter shuts down.

Zendrive is already testing hosting its SDK on Maven Central. This is what we've learned:

  • We recently uploaded a test build called 7.2.0-dev1 on Maven Central. This build is the same as SDK 7.1. You can begin testing your own transition process using this build.

  • JCenter automatically copies everything from Maven Central, so you may see 7.2.0-dev1 on JCenter as well.

  • We don't know if JCenter will continue serving packages uploaded on Maven Central once it stops accepting new packages after March 2021. Therefore, we recommend transitioning to Maven Central to continue receiving the latest updates from Zendrive.

Our sample application has an update that helps you transition from JCenter.
