[FIXED] Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'maven' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

Issue

I want to add jitpack.io as a repository in my gradle file. This is my gradle root file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.0.2"
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:1.5.21"

        classpath 'com.google.dagger:hilt-android-gradle-plugin:2.38.1'

        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}
task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Since I DON'T have a "allrepositories" to put my dependency there (only works there), I've created and added this code after buildscript code:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {url 'https://www.jitpack.io'}
    }
}

But this is the error I get

Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserCodeException: Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'maven' was added by build file 'build.gradle'

Solution

Android introduced a new way to define repositories.

Remove the dependencyResolutionManagement block from the setting.gradle file to have your project work the old way.
