Summary:
Historically React Native used to include the JitPack repository be default in the default repositories.
This sadly exposes React Native projects to supply chain attacks as explained here:
https://blog.oversecured.com/Introducing-MavenGate-a-supply-chain-attack-method-for-Java-and-Android-applications/
Moreover, artifacts on Jitpack are not GPG signed it's complicated to verify the identity of artifact authors.
I'm introducing a Gradle property to control if Jitpack should be included by default or not.
User can control this behavior by changing their
gradle.properties
file as such:The default value of this property is currently true, but we're looking into changing it to false in the future.
