I'm getting class not found exception in my Android library (aar) when GoogleApiAvailability is called.
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "com.google.android.gms.common.GoogleApiAvailability" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/com.myunityplugin.PushNotifications-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/com.myunityplugin.PushNotifications-1/lib/arm, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]
The error is self-explanatory, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm pretty new to gradle and AndroidStudio.
I have the following under dependencies within my gradle.build:
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.4.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'
I think the problem is that the play-services library needs to be included in the aar, and compile doesn't do that. I tried using 'runtime' but I get "gradle dsl runtime not found".
Questions:
Line causing the error
GoogleApiAvailability ServiceAvailability = GoogleApiAvailability.getInstance();

The aar file doesn't contain the nested (or transitive) dependencies and doesn't have a pom file which describes the dependencies used by the library.
It means that, if you are importing a aar file using a flatDir
repo you have to specify the dependencies also in your project.
You should use a maven repository (you have to publish the library in a private or public maven repo), you will not have the same issue.
In this case, gradle downloads the dependencies using the pom file which will contains the dependencies list.
