JCenter is shutting down - Flexbox 2.0.1 dependency not available anymore

Meeting SDK

Meeting SDK Info
Meeting SDK type: android
Meeting SDK version: 6.1.5

Description
Hello!

It has come our attention in the recent brownout procedure of JCenter <can’t put link here, google Jcenter sunset> that our android app depending on the Meeting SDK is unable to build. The root cause seem to be the dependancy com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1 which comes from the MobileRCT (Meeting SDK):
line 13 in build.gradle of latest version 6.1.5 is dependencies.add("default","com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1")

Given that JCenter is sun setting for good on Aug 15th and you have this dependency in your list.
What is your plan for mitigating?

To our knowledge the 2.0.1 version is not available on maven central (proposed change from JFrog) as only 3.0.0 version is hosted there:

We need an alternative to keep using the Meeting SDK, and I guess others user have this issue as well. Please advise.

Previous topics on this forum suggest adding JCenter as a repo to resolve such issues, which is obviously not going to work this time:

Anyone know of a mirror repository that includes flexbox 2.0.1 we can use if this isn’t addressed and released within 7 days time?
