## AI overview

This tutorial explains how to manually migrate existing Android library artifacts from JCenter to Maven Central after JCenter's shutdown. It covers downloading artifacts from Bintray, signing the AAR, POM, JAR, and signature files, and uploading them through Sonatype without recompiling the library.

## Source excerpt

As you may have heard, JCenter is shutting down in May 2021. Into the Sunset on May 1st: Bintray, JCenter, GoCenter, and ChartCenter https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/ So, if you are using JCenter as the repository for your libraries (as me), it's time to migrate. In this article, I will not go through the publishing process of a library to MavenCentral, because there are already plenty of resources available. For example, I followed the one written by Márton Braun.
