Unable to get dependencies from jcenter with a new project [closed]

jcenter is currently down. In the end adding mavenCentral() to both sets of repositories in the project build.gradle file worked as a workaround for me:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        google()
        jcenter()

…

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral() 
        google() 
        jcenter()

…
