Gradle plugin for publishing Android (AAR) libraries using Maven Publish plugin.

Requirements

• Gradle 5.3+
• Android Gradle Plugin 3.3+

Usage

plugins {
    id "com.android.library"
    id "com.github.technoir42.aar-publish" version "1.0.4"
    id "maven-publish"
}

publishing {
    publications {
        maven(MavenPublication) {
            from components.android
        }
    }
}

To learn how to configure publications and repositories refer to the documentation for Maven Publish plugin.

Variants

The plugin registers the following SoftwareComponents:

• components.android - for the default variant set using android.defaultPublishConfig which is release by default.
• components.android${capitalizedVariantName} - for all variants, e.g. androidMyFlavorRelease if variant name is myFlavorRelease.

Changing the default variant:

android {
    defaultPublishConfig "myFlavorRelease"

    productFlavors {
        myFlavor {
        }
    }
}

Publishing a specific variant:

publishing {
    publications {
        maven(MavenPublication) {
            afterEvaluate {
                from components.androidMyFlavorRelease
            }
        }
    }
}

Plugin configuration

Sources and Javadoc are published by default but you can disable publishing either of them using the following DSL:

aarPublishing {
    publishJavadoc = false
    publishSources = false
}

Limitations

• Dokka is not currently supported. It might work with some extra configuration.
• Kotlin Multiplatform projects are not supported.
