Research direction
The issue asks whether the api gradle plugin is still only on Jcenter. To resolve, investigate the repository's build configuration (e.g., publishing.gradle) and determine if the plugin can be published to Maven Central or Google. The maintainer should clarify the current plugin distribution and potentially update documentation.
