Using Android Studio, I have an Android library project which produces 'library/build/outputs/aar/MyLIB.aar" just fine in Debug mode, but does not do so in Release mode. I see no errors, just "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" in the "Gradle Console" window but no Release Mode artifact.
There was a similar question raised here, and I'm getting the same behavior as #user1624552 mentions in the link:
"gradlew clean" followed by "gradlew aR" resultd in my AAR being created and correctly placed in the directory above. But using Android Studio and the "Release Mode" Build Variant does NOT create an AAR file.
Is there something configured in the Debug variant which is not configured in the Release variant?
Thanks, ALF
Add your AAR or JAR as a dependencyNavigate to File > Project Structure > Dependencies. In the Declared Dependencies tab, click and select Jar Dependency in the dropdown. In the Add Jar/Aar Dependency dialog, first enter the path to your . aar or .
An AAR file contains a software library used for developing Android apps. It is structurally similar to an . APK file (Android Package), but it allows a developer to store a reusable component that can be used across multiple different apps.
In android studio, open the Project Files view. Find the . aar file and double click, choose "arhcive" from the 'open with' list that pops up. This will open a window in android studio with all the files, including the classes, manifest, etc.
Right click the task you want and click "Run".
