Research direction

Open the Android Proto DataStore web tutorial at the linked build.gradle snippet and compare its protoc artifact version with the reported Maven resolution error. Update the tutorial so the artifact uses the resolvable version, then verify that the displayed repository settings and Gradle configuration are consistent.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I originally thought this was a typo, but it seems protoc 21.7 does exist. So, edit:

The build.gradle snippet in the web tutorial specifies:

  protoc {
        artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:21.7"
    }

But Android Studio can't find protoc 21.7 with the provided repository setting:

    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }

giving the error:

> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:protobufToolsLocator_protoc'.
   > Could not find com.google.protobuf:protoc:21.7.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/21.7/protoc-21.7.pom
       - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/google/protobuf/protoc/21.7/protoc-21.7.pom
     Required by:
         project :app

Changing the protoc stanza to read artifact = "com.google.protobuf:protoc:3.21.7" (i.e. changing the version from 21.7 to 3.21.7) makes this problem go away.
