hi all. i've been stuck on this for 2 days now. when i try to build any kmp library it gets stuck on

Downloading com.android.library.gradle.plugin-8.11.1.pom...

and eventually fails with

Plugin [id: 'com.android.library', version: '8.11.1'] was not found in any of the following sources:

I've tried clearing global and local gradle caches, intellij caches, reinstalling intellij, restarting mac, turning vpn on and off since it was on the first time it happened, and nothing works. I've even tried a completely fresh project from scratch and it still didn't work

At this point i'm thinking google's maven repo might be down? because https://maven.google.com/web/index.html shows no libraries. but i've never visited the site before so idk if that's the case. Does any one have any ideas here?

this is my settings.gradle.kts

rootProject.name = "common"
enableFeaturePreview("TYPESAFE_PROJECT_ACCESSORS")

pluginManagement {
    repositories {
        google {
            mavenContent {
                includeGroupAndSubgroups("androidx")
                includeGroupAndSubgroups("com.android")
                includeGroupAndSubgroups("com.google")
            }
        }
        mavenCentral()
        gradlePluginPortal()
    }
}

dependencyResolutionManagement {
    repositories {
        google {
            mavenContent {
                includeGroupAndSubgroups("androidx")
                includeGroupAndSubgroups("com.android")
                includeGroupAndSubgroups("com.google")
            }
        }
        mavenCentral()
    }
}

include(":lib")

also this started on intellij ultimate 2025.2 but i upgraded to 2025.2.1 in the process of trying to fix it

The Google maven repo is not down for me, I can browse https://maven.google.com/web/index.html?q=com.android.library#com.android.library:com.android.library.gradle.plugin:8.11.1

[Emilio Colindres]

that's interesting because that link doesn't work for me. it just shows an empty homepage with no artifacts

[mbonnin]

This is what I get

[mbonnin]

Check with another network?

thanks for sharing

[Emilio Colindres]

you're right i can access from my phone. i'll have to look into what can be causing this. thank you

[Emilio Colindres]

it was because i had modified my dns server on my mac to be my router, because of some home automation i was previously messing with 🙂. changed my dns servers to good old google and cloudflare and it works (dl.google.com was resolving to a stale ip address). what a relief
