Null extracted folder for artifact: ResolvedArtifact

Question

Added another version of AAR to the libs directory, after click Sync an error appeared

Null extracted folder for artifact: ResolvedArtifact(componentIdentifier=mylib-release-1.13.aar, variantName=null, artifactFile=D:...\app\libs\mylib-release-1.13.aar, extractedFolder=null, dependencyType=ANDROID, isWrappedModule=false, buildMapping={current_build=D:...}, mavenCoordinatesCache=com.android.build.gradle.internal.ide.dependencies.MavenCoordinatesCacheBuildService$Inject@60eddcd6)

Even after I changed the version of the library to 1.14 and did Sync, the problem remained. How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

Make Sure your app module build.gradle must have libs not lib

implementation files('libs/mylib-release-1.13.aar')

Answer 2

That error is because gradle does not find the .aar, check if you are in the right project, generally it is app. And then add the implementation, for me it worked using this in the gradle app module

implementation files('libs/player-release.aar')

And the .aar was located in: C:\Users\denis\workspace\PlayerApp\app\sdk\libs
