I am getting the following error in the Android Studio when "Gradle sync" is on action:
Could not GET 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/org/jetbrains/kotlin/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8/1.4.30/kotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.4.30.pom'. Received status code 403 from server: Forbidden Disable Gradle 'offline mode' and sync project
It downloads few files then stuck on the same filekotlin-stdlib-jdk8-1.4.30.pom and show the error above.
I have tried several solutions like here and here and none of them realy solve the problem.
And since I am only using Java why the Android studio should care about kotlin ,is there any thing i can do to avoid dealing with Kotlin?
this is the gradle>build.gradle file:

buildscript { repositories { google() jcenter() } dependencies { //classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.3" classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0' } } allprojects { repositories { google() jcenter() } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir }

and this is the app>src>build.gradle file:

plugins { id 'com.android.application' } android { compileSdkVersion 29 buildToolsVersion "29.0.3" defaultConfig { applicationId "com.example.myapplication_10" minSdkVersion 29 targetSdkVersion 29 versionCode 1 versionName "1.0" testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner" } buildTypes { release { minifyEnabled false proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android-optimize.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro' } } compileOptions { sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8 } } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+' classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0' implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0' implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.1.0' implementation 'androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:1.1.3' testImplementation 'junit:junit:4.+' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.2' androidTestImplementation 'androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.2.0' }

403 Forbidden usually means you're connecting from a country under US sanctions (Iran for example). Try to clean project, clear Gradle cache, quit android studio, connect to a VPN to change the IP of your computer, open studio and sync/run. Also some services like Shecan or Begzar might help.

I cleaned my project using "gradlew cleanBuildCache" then restart and unfortunately nothing change. I am using Psiphon should I use something else or maybe try specific connection setting ?
I haven't used Psiphon in years so I've got no idea about it. But try Shecan it used to work. Also if you have some knowledge about vpn servers, it worth getting a VPS outside your country and install Shadowsocks/OpenVPN on it and use that VPN for yourself :D
I moved to Proton VPN and the error is gone! ,thank you
