I recently encountered a similar issue. My first advice would be that if you're using their public Access token, create a new one from Access Tokens and make sure Downloads:Read scope is checked. Then create a gradle.properties file in "your_projects_directory.gradle" (which to me was C:\Users\USERNAME\AndroidStudioProjects\ .gradle), and paste the following line:
MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN=YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
You should replace YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY with your actual access key of course. Just in case Android Studio is unable to find this newly created gradle.properties file, I would recommend adding a duplicate of the above line to your project gradle.properties file [This was what fixed my issue] although I'm not sure if this has any security implications.
Then finally your build.gradle should contain this:
maven {
url 'https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven'
authentication {
basic(BasicAuthentication)
}
credentials {
// Do not change the username below.
// This should always be `mapbox` (not your username).
username = 'mapbox'
// Use the secret token you stored in gradle.properties as the password
password = System.getenv("MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN") ?: project.property("MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN") as String
}
}
