Maybe someone already had such problem or know the way to solve it ? Please help, because I cannot get it work whole day already. Thx in advance.

Answer 1

I am doing the same thing (upload my aar to bintray) and I have the same problem.

I am aware that it is occurred in gradle library, so I change my gradle verion from 2.4.0 to 2.2.1 by this way

File -> Project Structure (or trigger hotkey command + ;) -> click the Project in the left list in the dialog -> input 2.2.1 in the Gradle textedit box.

I solve this error by this way.Look for the note part in file README.md.

Hope this can help you.

ps:If you want to use gradle 2.4.0, you should config android-maven-plugin version to 1.3 in classpath in the project root build.gradle as :

com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.3
