Mapbox Offline - Unable to Download Mapbox Offline AARs (bindgen & gestures) for .NET MAUI Project

[AbhisekAcharya]

Hi Team,

I do have a application built in .Net MAUI 9.0 using C# and MVVM architecture. I have Mapbox.GL.js for online maps but i also need maps in offline mode too. Below are steps i followed for implementing offline maps using Mapbox.Maui package.
• I created an account in the Mapbox Console.
• After the account was created, a default public access token was available.
• I then created a secret token because my application requires offline map functionality. While generating the secret token, I selected the “Downloads: Read” scope.
• I added this secret token to the gradle.properties file located at ~/.gradle/gradle.properties.
• As I am a .NET MAUI developer, I created a .NET MAUI project targeting .NET 9.0.
• I installed the Mapbox.Maui NuGet package version 10.11.1.1.
• Then I added the following snippet in my .csproj file:
sk.XXXXX maven { url = uri("https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven") authentication { create("basic") } credentials { username = "mapbox" password = providers.gradleProperty("MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN").get() } }

• When building the project, I received multiple issues. Sometimes I get:

C:\Users\abhiseka.nuget\packages\dependencies.gradle\7.6.0.1\buildTransitive\Dependencies.Gradle.targets(29,3):
error GDL001: Gradlew build failed...
error XBD001: Download failed. Please download https://drive.google.com/... to C:\Users\abhiseka\AppData\Local\XamarinBuildDownloadCache\MapboxMapsObjC-10.11.1.1.zip.

• After resolving that error, I then encountered:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'C:\Users\abhiseka/.gradle/.../kotlin-android-extensions-runtime-1.7.20.jar'.

• I downloaded the missing files manually and placed them in the required folders, but similar issues continued for other .jar and .aar files.
• Eventually, I was able to download all the required .jar and .aar files except the bindgen and gestures AARs.
• When I try to download them manually, for example:

https://api.mapbox.com/downloads/v2/releases/maven/com/mapbox/bindgen/bindgen/0.2.0/bindgen-0.2.0.aar?access_token=sk.XXXX

• I receive the response:

{"message":"Not Found"}

• I do not have any kind of subscription in my mapbox console account, so do i need any kind of subscription for downloading bindgen and gestures .aars ?

• It would be extremely helpful if you could assist us in obtaining the bindgen and gestures AAR files.
