Using Android Studio Arctic Fox 2020.3.1

Instead of adding maven { url "https://jitpack.io" } in your project level gradle file add it in settings.gradle

In settings.gradle

repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
        jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
    }

this fixed my problem like you.
