Got reminded of this when my builds started failing during today's brown-out session.

Can this be fixed before May?

@moopat I have copied packages from Bintray to Maven Central.

A quick test in a project consuming MapLibre through Maven shows that all what is needed is to remove jcenter() and add mavenCentral() in build.gradle repositories list.

We are working on gradle deploy script migration so that new releases are deployed to Maven Central, but it will take a while. It looks like jFrog will keep JCenter running until Feb 1 2022.

@petr-pokorny-1 any plans or solutions to remove mapbox-android-accounts dependency or move it to mavencentral?

thats the only dependency from maplibre that still requires jcenter to use maplibre

@carlonzo yes, it was removed - now it is ready for review along with many other changes in #90
