How to publish android .aar packages?

Ask your Question

What do I need to do to publish android .aar packages?

I have a package that contains a lot of native (.cpp) code, which I'd like to pre-build for the user.

My android folder in my react-native library looks like this:

I'd like to pre-compile the following files/directories:

• cpp-adapter.cpp
• MMKV/Android
• MMKV/Core

1. How do I do that? Those 3 files/folders are already mentioned in the CMakeLists.txt, I assume that's enough
2. What other changes do I need to make? Do I need to add something to the build.gradle?
3. What files to I have to publish to npm? I currently have:

{
  "files": [
    "android/src",
    "android/build.gradle",
    "android/gradle.properties",
    "lib/aar",
    "lib/commonjs",
    "lib/module",
    "lib/typescript",
    "ios/**/*.h",
    "ios/**/*.m",
    "ios/**/*.mm",
    "ios/**/*.cpp",
    "react-native-mmkv.podspec",
    "README.md"
  ],
}

but that doesn't work since it can't find the CMakeLists.txt I mentioned in my build.gradle. If I add the CMakeLists.txt it complains since it can't find the .cpp files. If I remove android/ entirely, it simply doesn't use the native module.

I believe it simply ignores the lib/aar folder 🤔
