'Android Studio release build does not output aar

I have create a very simple 'Android Library' module with only one class which builds fine in debug releasing build/output/library-debug.aar

But, when I switch to release, even though it says build successful, the aar is not there.

The Android Studio project only has this library module.

Thanks for advance.

To get the aar, you can do the following

1) “View/Tool Windows/Gradle”, to open the gradle window

2) From gradle window, run assembly Gradle task by double-click on My_Plugin_Android/:My_Plugin/Tasks/build/assemble

Then the release and debug aars are outputed.

Solution 2:^[2]

Here are the steps:

Step1: In Android studio open 'gradle' window.
Step2: Select your library from the gradles projects
Step3: Click on Tasks => build => assemble

The aar file will be generated in 'build/outputs' folder in finder window.

Solution 3:^[3]

Ensure that the following line is there in your build.gradle file

apply plugin: 'com.android.library'

Open gradle window in android studio (Look at right top corner)
Double click on Library => Tasks => build => assemble

Solution 4:^[4]

From Gradle > select your project > Tasks > Build > build dependents

Solution 5:^[5]

Set up your project as an Android library.
In build.gradle file: plugin: 'com.android.library'
You can see the output in: build/outputs/aar/[your module].

Read this article about your problem.

Solution 6:^[6]

In build.gradle:MyModule

plugins {
    id 'com.android.library'
}

Remove android -> defaultConfig -> applicationId if it was attached.

Sync and build from Gradle task menu
