Android library dependencies missing from POM with Gradle

Question

I am using Gradle to build an Android library project and deploy it to maven repository as an aar.

The library has some dependencies, which should be included in the

Answer 1

This is the solution that worked for me in the end:

publishing {
    publications {
        sdk(MavenPublication) {
            artifactId libName
            artifact "${project.buildDir}/outputs/aar/${libName}-${project.version}.aar"

            //The publication doesn't know about our dependencies, so we have to manually add them to the pom
            pom.withXml {
                // for dependencies and exclusions
                def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
                configurations.implementation.allDependencies.withType(ModuleDepend‌​ency) { ModuleDependency dp ->
                    def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', dp.group)
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', dp.name)
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('version', dp.version)

                    // for exclusions
                    if (dp.excludeRules.size() > 0) {
                        def exclusions = dependencyNode.appendNode('exclusions')
                        dp.excludeRules.each { ExcludeRule ex ->
                            def exclusion = exclusions.appendNode('exclusion')
                            exclusion.appendNode('groupId', ex.group)
                            exclusion.appendNode('artifactId', ex.module)
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

    repositories {
        maven {
            name 'myrepo'
            url 'https://maven.foo.com'

            credentials {
                username mavenUsername
                password mavenPassword
            }      
        }
    }
}

Answer 2

try mavenDeployer: http://gradle.org/docs/current/userguide/maven_plugin.html

uploadArchives {
    repositories {
        mavenDeployer {
            repository(url: "file://localhost/tmp/myRepo/")
            pom.version = '1.0Maven'
            pom.artifactId = 'myMavenName'
        }
    }
}

here you could set the pom details. You'll get a new goal called uploadArchives. When executed, it deploys to a given repo.
