Unable to add private maven repo to the React native project directly about react-native

[cortinico]

The code you shared in your first snippet is the correct way to specify a private maven repository. Your project is failing for other reasons.

I've created for you a sample project here:
https://github.com/cortinico/reproducer-private-maven-repo

Specifically look at this commit:
cortinico/reproducer-private-maven-repo@8af94f7

As you can see from the CI, it's failing with:

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':app:compileDebugJavaWithJavac'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':app:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not resolve my.random.package:library:+.
     Required by:
         project :app
      > Failed to list versions for my.random.package:library.
         > Unable to load Maven meta-data from https://maven.pkg.github.com/package/my/random/package/library/maven-metadata.xml.
            > Could not GET 'https://maven.pkg.github.com/package/my/random/package/library/maven-metadata.xml'. Received status code 401 from server: Unauthorized

I cannot share the reproducible example as the dependency i am adding are private maven repo.

You can also run the task with --info to verify that the build task is effectively attempting to fetch the library from the provided URL.
