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

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 👍
