When I build an app with a *.aar file instead of the module with Gradle 4.x and following the docu concerning implements and api, I expect using api the included aar file has all dependencies included, but it hasn't.
When you do
git clone https://github.com/hannesa2/aar_dependency
./gradlew clean assembleDebug
means
dependencies {
api project(':mylibrary')
it works properly.
But when I use insted of lib-module the previous generated *.aar file as dependency
dependencies {
api 'com.example.my.mylibrary:mylibrary-debug@aar'
(in demo app just do)
git checkout with_aar
./gradlew clean assembleDebug
I run into this
Task :app:transformClassesWithDesugarForDebug Exception in thread "main" java.lang.TypeNotPresentException: Type io.reactivex.ObservableTransformer not present at sun.invoke.util.BytecodeDescriptor.parseSig(BytecodeDescriptor.java:85) at sun.invoke.util.BytecodeDescriptor.parseMethod(BytecodeDescriptor.java:63) at sun.invoke.util.BytecodeDescriptor.parseMethod(BytecodeDescriptor.java:41) at java.lang.invoke.MethodType.fromMethodDescriptorString(MethodType.java:1067) at com.google.devtools.build.android.desugar.LambdaDesugaring$InvokedynamicRewriter.visitInvokeDynamicInsn(LambdaDesugaring.java:399) at org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor.visitInvokeDynamicInsn(Unknown Source) at org.objectweb.asm.MethodVisitor.visitInvokeDynamicInsn(Unknown Source)
Because I ordinary run into this with uploading the aar artifacts into our company Maven Nexus, I created this demo-repo to show exactly what's wrong. In demo app or using Maven I see the same issue.
Does someone knows what I did wrong ?
