I was using the maven-publish plugin for publishing my aar dependency and actually I could not use the maven task in my case. So I used the mavenJava task provided by the maven-publish plugin and used that as follows.

apply plugin 'maven-publish'

publications {
    mavenAar(MavenPublication) {
        from components.android
    }

    mavenJava(MavenPublication) {
        pom.withXml {
            def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
            // Iterate over the api dependencies (we don't want the test ones), adding a <dependency> node for each
            configurations.api.allDependencies.each {
                def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
                dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', it.group)
                dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', it.name)
                dependencyNode.appendNode('version', it.version)
            }
        }
    }
}

I hope that it helps someone who is looking for help on how to publish the aar along with pom file using the maven-publish plugin.
