Describe the bug
After bumping to 1.28.0 we get this error when building the project (for instance via build):

Could not determine the dependencies of task ':moduleA:extractDebugAnnotations'.
> Could not resolve all task dependencies for configuration ':moduleA:debugCompileClasspath'.
   > Could not resolve project :moduleB.
     Required by:
         project :moduleA
      > The consumer was configured to find a library for use during compile-time, preferably optimized for Android, as well as attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr' with value 'debug', attribute 'com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr' with value '8.2.1', attribute 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type' with value 'androidJvm'. However we cannot choose between the following variants of project :moduleB:
          - projectHealthElements
          - resolvedDepsElements
        All of them match the consumer attributes:
          - Variant 'projectHealthElements' capability rootProject:moduleB:unspecified:
              - Unmatched attributes:
                  - Doesn't say anything about com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr (required '8.2.1')
                  - Doesn't say anything about com.android.build.api.attributes.BuildTypeAttr (required 'debug')
                  - Provides attribute 'dagp.internal.artifacts' with value 'project-health' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Doesn't say anything about its component category (required a library)
                  - Doesn't say anything about its target Java environment (preferred optimized for Android)

                  - Doesn't say anything about org.jetbrains.kotlin.platform.type (required 'androidJvm')
          - Variant 'resolvedDepsElements' capability rootProject:moduleB:unspecified:
              - Unmatched attributes:
                  - Doesn't say anything about com.android.build.api.attributes.AgpVersionAttr (required '8.2.1')

                  - Provides attribute 'dagp.internal.artifacts' with value 'resolved-deps' but the consumer didn't ask for it
                  - Doesn't say anything about its component category (required a library)
                  - Doesn't say anything about its target Java environment (preferred optimized for Android)

moduleA is here a regular module (with plugin com.android.library) and moduleB is a "wrapper" around an AAR file to be able to use it. The AAR file is included like this:

configurations.maybeCreate("default")
artifacts.add("default", file('someExternalLib.aar'))

This is not how the official documentation states it, but due to a weird bug this doesn't work for other reasons unfortunately.

I don't know if we can fix this in any other ways (is it possible to ignore dependencies or modules somehow?), so wanted to file this bug if you weren't aware of this. And for the record, it works fine for version 1.27.0.

[Anigif]

Just for the record, I've now submitted a bug report for the solution stated by the official documentation. Hopefully it will get fixed, but it might still be worth figuring out why the other setup mentioned above doesn't work.

[autonomousapps]

I think that other configuration you create needs to have some metadata attached to it. If you provide a reproducer I can take a look and see if there's something I can do in DAGP.

@autonomousapps here we go:
reproducer-issue-1108.zip

Thanks!

[autonomousapps]

I've just resolved another issue that looks at least superficially similar. Could you try the latest snapshot (wait at least an hour from when I post this message)?

[eduardbosch-jt]

Hey @autonomousapps,

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I've tested 1.31.1-SNAPSHOT and it didn't solve this issue. At least on my side.

[autonomousapps]

Alright, thanks! Looks like something that might be Android-specific.

[autonomousapps]

I was able to workaround this by adding this to the top of the "wrapper" module:

// wrapper-module/build.gradle
plugins {
  id("java")
}

I find the existence of such modules unusual -- what's the use-case? Why not just add the jar as a dependency to "normal" modules directly?

[bidrohi]

For Android projects, it throws a lint error since adding AAR files directly misses the non-JVM parts of the archive.

What exactly throws a lint error?

[bidrohi]

Sorry doesn't look like I can get the same error as before. Now I get the following trying to sync the project after adding 1.32 version of the plugin:

> Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
   > org/jetbrains/kotlin/incremental/classpathDiff/ClassSnapshotGranularity
   > KotlinJvmAndroidCompilation with name 'compileDebugAndroidTest' not found.

@bidrohi this looks like a different issue. Could you file a new report?

We have an AAR-file that we have to import to our build somehow in order to be able to use it. We're okay about changing the way we import it (as long as it's reliable), but I'm not sure how you would add that as a dependency directly? Most other methods I've found is either outdated or not stable to use, unfortunately.

Does a workaround like this help? Alternatively, you could publish that AAR to an internal artifact repo and consume it that way.

Yeah, sorry forgot to give an answer here. I tried that, but I then wasn't able to access the content of the aar-file (imports of classes wasn't found anymore). It might be possible to do something like that, but I'm not an expert in gradle unfortunately.

Might be an idea we could test out a bit. We are however several developers working on this project so we would need to have some automatic setup for this 🤔

[mr-thierry]

This works for me:

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

dependencies {
  api(files("someExternalLib.aar"))
}

[autonomousapps]

This works for me:

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

dependencies {
  api(files("someExternalLib.aar"))
}

This looks much more "normal" to me!

Sorry.. I didn't share the lint error before:

Execution failed for task ':moduleA:bundleDebugLocalLintAar'.
> Error while evaluating property 'hasLocalAarDeps' of task ':moduleA:bundleDebugLocalLintAar'.
   > Direct local .aar file dependencies are not supported when building an AAR. The resulting AAR would be broken because the classes and Android resources from any local .aar file dependencies would not be packaged in the resulting AAR. Previous versions of the Android Gradle Plugin produce broken AARs in this case too (despite not throwing this error). The following direct local .aar file dependencies of the :moduleA project caused this error: <path to aar>

Looks like it was broken with Kotlin 1.9.0 updating to 1.9.24 resolved this issue.

[Anigif]

This works for me:

apply plugin: 'kotlin'

dependencies {
  api(files("someExternalLib.aar"))
}

The issue with this solution is that it unfortunately gives and error when linting as mentioned in the original post. I have submitted an issue (see first answer), but I unfortunately don't think that will be fixed any time soon.
