why android gradle maven publish artifact bundleRelease not found - gradle

Question

When i sync project, android studio warn could not get unknown property 'bundleRelease' for object of type org.gradle.api.publish.maven.internal.publication.DefaultMavenPublication.
I add project.afterEvaluate{//block},but it doesn't work. What should i do to set the artifact

Answer 1

Android Gradle Plugin 3.3.x (at least -alpha releases at the time of writing this answer) has breaking change, task bundleRelease was renamed to bundleReleaseAar
So the solution is to use: bundleReleaseAar instead of bundleRelease.
Note: "release" in the task name is buildType/flavor combination, thus it might be different in your setup.
Generic answer: bundleRelease is a task, to find its new name you can run ./gradlew tasks --all

Answer 2

So the answer from Artem Zunnatullin is correct. Just one addition, the project.afterEvaluate{//block} is necessary to make it work. This information can be overlooked very easily.
Complete example:
project.afterEvaluate {
publishing {
publications {
mavenDebugAAR(MavenPublication) {
artifact bundleDebugAar
pom.withXml {
def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
configurations.api.allDependencies.each { ModuleDependency dp ->
def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', dp.group)
dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', dp.name)
dependencyNode.appendNode('version', dp.version)
if (dp.excludeRules.size() > 0) {
def exclusions = dependencyNode.appendNode('exclusions')
dp.excludeRules.each { ExcludeRule ex ->
def exclusion = exclusions.appendNode('exclusion')
exclusion.appendNode('groupId', ex.group)
exclusion.appendNode('artifactId', ex.module)
}
}
}
}
}
mavenReleaseAAR(MavenPublication) {
artifact bundleReleaseAar
pom.withXml {
def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
configurations.api.allDependencies.each { ModuleDependency dp ->
def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', dp.group)
dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', dp.name)
dependencyNode.appendNode('version', dp.version)
if (dp.excludeRules.size() > 0) {
def exclusions = dependencyNode.appendNode('exclusions')
dp.excludeRules.each { ExcludeRule ex ->
def exclusion = exclusions.appendNode('exclusion')
exclusion.appendNode('groupId', ex.group)
exclusion.appendNode('artifactId', ex.module)
}
}
}
}
}
}
