This is unfamiliar to me - I am not used to distributing software in this way, but it seems like everything should be working, unless I have made a mistake.

On Bintray, I'm trying to release a thing I forked as I want to include it as a dependency in my lib and my app, instead of directly. It's also a learning thing, so feel free to educate me if appropriate.

I've uploaded everything correctly I believe, and unlike every other question I've seen - I actually have signed up for an OSS account, but still can't see the "Link to JCentre" button -

Did I do something wrong? Or has something changed?

I also am assuming I may have to wait for a while before I can link it.I can see my version badge and so on, but I want to access this via gradle. The section appears on my package information screen, but it says 0 links and there's no buttons.

Thanks guys!

Here is a link to my (EDIT: [now successfully updated]) repository. It is a fork of Galgo to add support for Android M+

In order to be enable to "Link to JCenter", your repository needs to be public and Maven type, you also can't be a trial user (see answer here).

The problem that you are facing is that your repository if Generic and not Maven.

You can check your repository type by navigating to your repository edit page, you'll find the Type field (which can't be edited). It should say Maven.
You can also check the Owned Repositories from the organization profile page. The text in parenthesis states the repository type.

  • Hey, I actually have signed up for an OSS account, I don't think it is a maven type, although I'm not sure what you mean. I can see that some maven files were generated, but I haven't done any maven. Here is the [link](https://dl.bintray.com/systemecks/systemecks) – Saik Caskey Aug 07 '17 at 08:30

    Go to your repository edit page, there is a field called `Type`, yours probably says `Generic` and not `Maven`. You can also check the `Owned Repositories` from the organization profile page, in parenthesis is the repository type. – Royg Aug 07 '17 at 10:24
  • Nice one, that looks to be it - it actually won't let me edit the field at the moment, but in about 30 mins I will just recreate the repository and package - I wasn't sure what that was about when I was setting up now that I think about it! Could you update your answer to include that and I'll accept it? – Saik Caskey Aug 07 '17 at 10:40
