A Gradle script that merges embedded dependencies into a single generated AAR file for Android library projects. It lets library authors publish one fat AAR while keeping a modular project structure.

Use cases

• publish a single Android library AAR with embedded sub-projects
• merge multiple library modules into one distributable aar file
• avoid transitive dependency resolution for embedded libraries
• proguard the combined library code instead of each subproject
• embed local and remote aar dependencies into a generated aar

When to choose

• you need to ship a single AAR containing multiple modules on older Android Gradle Plugin versions
• you want to keep a modular codebase but publish one artifact
• you cannot use a maintained fat-aar Gradle plugin and your AGP version is compatible

When to avoid

• you use recent Android Gradle Plugin versions, as this script is unmaintained since 2017
• you rely on manifest placeholders, AIDL files, or multiple build types
• you want active maintenance and bug fixes
• you can use a maintained alternative like fat-aar-plugin
