Android (Solved) Problem with *.aar files at extension

[u1ambient]

Is there a way to compile project with *.aar files at extension?

I trying create extension. It use *.jar and *.aar files. If *.aar is in a folder "libs", compilation fails:

System.IO.IOException: The file 'Z:/game_531CA3FB_689AB3CD\Android\default\game.***.***\elibs/adcolony-3.3.5.\adcolony-3.3.5.aar' already exists.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

Igor complete.

But if *.aar is in a separate folder "libs-aar" and adding to build.grandle following code, it doesn't work anyway:

repositories {
flatDir {
dirs 'libs-aar'
}
...
}

dependencies {
compile(name: 'adcolony-3.3.5', ext: 'aar')
...

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':game.***.***'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':game.***.***:_debugApkCopy'.
> Could not find :adcolony-3.3.5:.

At the same time I can compile project with adcolony adding to grandle:

repositories
{
maven {url "https://adcolony.bintray.com/AdColony"}
....
}

dependencies {
compile(name: 'adcolony-3.3.5', ext: 'aar')
...

But I also need others SDK, which are only *.aar files. Its possible at GameMaker Studio 2?

This problem solved:

in extension-section "Inject to Grandle dependencies" I added

compile(name: 'adcolony-sdk-3.3.5', ext: 'aar')

repositories
{
flatDir {
dirs 'libs-aar'
}
}

and create folder "libs-aar" with the *.aar files in C:\ProgramData\GameMakerStudio2\Cache\runtimes\runtime-2.2.1.287\android\runner\ProjectFiles\

Additionally, I added abiFilters (Adcolony uses all types of architectures, but I need only two of them) in build.grandle (which in ProjectFiles) in section "buildTypes":

buildTypes {
release {
ndk {
abiFilters 'armeabi-v7a', 'arm64-v8a'
}
...

Maybe, this will be useful for someone
