Trying to publish library artefacts to private repo. Got a following error

> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > Kotlin target 'android' tried to set up publishing for Android build variants that are not library variants or do not exist:
     * release
     Check the 'publishLibraryVariants' property, it should point to existing Android library variants. Publishing of application and test variants is not supported.

I think you need to use proper gradle task with variants. like

artifact bundleLiveReleaseAar

Live is the build Variant, check your build variant name and try with correct task, all the task you can find in Intellij Right side gradle tab or you can try cmd line gradle tasks

Did you add:

kotlin {
    android {
        publishLibraryVariants("release", "debug")
    }
}

in your build.gradle file?

@KamilH yes I did, and after that I got this message. Without these lines I doesn’t have this error, but android artefacts are absent.
I added.

kotlin {
    android {
        publishLibraryVariants("release")
    }
}

And I have only two build variants debug and release

Try switching the order in which you apply kotlin and android plugins.
