trying to build a signed apk from a opensource android application and got the error for the link https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/lint/lint-gradle/26.1.3/lint-gradle-26.1.3.pom is not accessible

i try to put this link manually to my browser and after redirecting to https://repo.jfrog.org/artifactory/libs-release-bintray/com/android/tools/lint/lint-gradle/26.1.3/lint-gradle-26.1.3.pom?referrer link i got 404 could not find resource Error.

is something wrong with the repository? how can i fix this, i can reach the jar file from maven repository but gradle decides to get this from jCenter and hit this error and i can't remove jcenter from repository

I couldn't find out what is wrong but i find a workaround that sort of solve the problem.
I added this line to dependencies section of build.gradle file:

compile group: 'com.android.tools.lint', name: 'lint-gradle', version: '26.1.3'

somehow when gradle tries to fetch this jar in build process it fails and not going to fetch from google() repo (i have this in my repos) but it had no problem getting it when i specify it on dependencies. after it downloads i removed it from my dependencies and build used it's cached jar file and everything works now.
