hello, im bit stuck on how to define "aar" or "zip" dependency with dependencies constraints (using github/android/plaid -like structure)
with `dependencies { constraints { api("${Libs.LIBRARY}:${version}@aar") } }`  and using `implementation(Libs.LIBRARY)`  in my :app gradle this dependency fails to resolve
im sure there is some parameter which could be used to define extensions, but i cant seem to figure out how to do it

From what I understand, I don't think you can define a constraint with extensions, as _dependencies_ don't actually care about extensions, that's used to determine the artifact that is selected after resolving the dependency

in this case I would constrain the version, and do `implementation("${Libs.LIBRARY}@aar")`

ref <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_dependencies.html#sec:resolve_specific_artifacts_from_dependency>

&gt; The `@` character separates the dependency’s coordinates from the artifact’s file extension.

oh wow, thank you. i was stuck thinking i had to use `@aar` after version number. I'll try CI build, local one seems good :thumbsup:
