Solve Termux repository is under maintenance or down issue

There are mainly 2 options to solve this issue:

Solution 1:

If possible, use Termux from F-Droid because there are some problems with the one from Google Play.

Solution 2:

If you are unable to update or install any package in termux then you can follow the below method to solve this issue.

  1. First of all type the below command: 
termux-change-repo

  1. Now You will see the main repo will be already selected and you just have to check all ( select all ) gaming as well as the science repo and then tap on the OK button.

  2. Now you have to switch from official repo to Alberto repo just select the Alberto Repo and tap on OK Button and the problem will be sloved.
    p.s. If Alberto is not working, then try switching to other repos.

you can also use

termux-change-repo #Note : Do not select Bintray repo or it will not work

Or

Remove science and game repo packages to fix it This problem is caused by the shutdown of bintray repos

the orginal post is from r/Termux

I also had this problem and I found a way to slove this Follow these steps :

pkg remove game-repo
pkg remove science-repo
pkg update

It should work now! :)

Also btw, termux is permanently shutting down bintary hosted repos example :
