Unable to generate Release Builds on Android

[purefml]

I am having an issue after installing shopify flashlist when building android release builds.

`

Task :app:lintVitalRelease FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':app:lintVitalRelease'.

Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration ':@shopify-flash-list:debugUnitTestCompileClasspath'.
Could not download junit-4.13.2.jar (junit:junit:4.13.2)
> Could not get resource 'https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/junit/junit/4.13.2/junit-4.13.2.jar'.

I have no problems building and releasing with IOS. anyone who has an idea regarding this issue? thanks.
