Below is the build.gradle:

group 'dev.britto.pdf_viewer_plugin'
version '1.0'

buildscript {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.1.0'
}

}

rootProject.allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
}
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

android {
compileSdkVersion 30

defaultConfig {
    minSdkVersion 16
    testInstrumentationRunner "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}
lintOptions {
    disable 'InvalidPackage'
}

}

dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.2.0'
implementation('com.github.barteksc:android-pdf-viewer:3.0.0-beta.4') {

}
}

Same problem here:

A problem occurred evaluating project ':pdf_viewer_plugin'.
> Cannot set the value of read-only property 'force' for DefaultExternalModuleDependency{group='com.github.barteksc', name='android-pdf-viewer', version='3.0.0-beta.4', configuration='default'} of type org.gradle.api.internal.artifacts.dependencies.DefaultExternalModuleDependency.

by commenting the force = true
end up to:

Not that I'm aware of, the solution was forking this library and updating it myself locally to make it work. I based my solution from this issue:
