I have integrated a third party SDK (aar file), which uses com.github.ybq.android.spinkit inside of it. This aar library, does not declare com.github.ybq.android.spinkit as gradle depency and this causes an issue, when we try to create a release version of our app:

Type com.github.ybq.android.spinkit.R is defined multiple times

Debug builds work without any issues.

What I have tried:

  1. Exclude a com.github.ybq.android.spinkit from this aar file. This did not worked, because it seems that it does not support aar files. Here is my code:

​

 implementation ('example.library@aar') {
        exclude group: 'com.github.ybq', module: 'Android-SpinKit'
    }

I know that it is a fault of library creator to build a fat aar with compiled library additionally. However, I can't just force them to change it...

Perhaps there is a way to somehow exclude Android-SpinKit from that AAR library?
