Local .aar is not supported

[danielhalim92]

Hi,

We have a lib module to add a local .aar file as a dependency, the build.gradle looks like this:

configurations.maybeCreate('default')
artifacts.add('default', file('your_aar_name.aar'))

When i ran the analysis, It threw an error my libs not supported, seems because it does not match any variant.

I tried to change the approach by including the .aar directly on the app module, and depends it using this way:
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.aar']).

Unfortunately I got another error:

task: bundleGeneralDebugAar
> Direct local .aar file dependencies are not supported when building an AAR. The resulting AAR would be broken because the classes and Android resources from any local .aar file dependencies would not be packaged in the resulting AAR.

Any workaround for it?

Thank you.

Sorry for the late reply! I'd suggest either:

• Using the CLI option: https://grab.github.io/app-sizer/cli/
• Publishing the jar/aar file to a repository (you can test locally with local Maven first)

Let me know if you need any help with either approach!
