Gradle Dependency : Upgrade from jar to aar doesnot work

Hello team,

Recently we came across a situation while updating an existing version of AkamaiBMP-2.1.2".jar". The new one is 3.1.0.“aar”. Both the files are stored in Nexus artifactory and there are no issues accessing it.

Problem:
When we are trying to bump the version number in the Gradle file, it tries to search for AkamaiBMP-3.1.0".jar" and not .aar file. We do have other aar files in the project that are accessible without any issues.

Not so sure but it seems like due to the previous jar file in the project, Gradle is expecting an updated jar and not aar file. Does anyone have any experience in this regard?

Hi there, can you specify the dependency as AkamaiBMP-3.1.0@aar?
