FFmpegKit · retired Jan 2025
Your FFmpegKit build is broken. We fixed it.
FFmpegKit was pulled from Maven Central in April 2025. Jokobee ships prebuilt, drop-in AARs — same com.arthenica.ffmpegkit API, no NDK on your end. Swap one Gradle line and ship.

From 404 to shipping in one edit.
Point at Maven Central, swap the dead coordinate for the maintained one, and build. Your Kotlin/Java imports stay identical.
// before — resolves to 404
implementation("com.arthenica:ffmpeg-kit-full:6.0")
// after — maintained · free on Maven Central
implementation("dev.ffmpegkit-maintained:ffmpeg-kit-free-81:8.1.7")
// same import, untouched
