[Android] Removing Flexbox jCenter dependency

Hi, so we are trying to remove jCenter dependency from our project but Zendesk messaging library is blocking us to do so as it depends on Flexbox library from jCenter. Google moved that library to their Maven repository but we can't force it as Gradle doesn't look at it as same Flexbox library. So we really need Zendesk library to be updated in order to remove jCenter dependency.

Is there any ETA when we can expect that so that we can plan our work accordingly?

Hi Mick,

In case it helps this is Intercom's fix from May 2021: https://github.com/intercom/intercom-android/commit/aea1f7f244d706eb0048ee213682448c3c0d356c.

It's literally one line of code:

- com.google.android:flexbox:2.0.1
+ com.google.android.flexbox:flexbox:3.0.0

Also, super nice that you can actually see the open source code of the project no? Beautiful for debugging.
