I am trying to use Android Fused Library Plugin to build and publish our library.

I am using a sample code at https://github.com/android/gradle-recipes/blob/agp-9.0/applyFusedLibraryPlugin/fusedLibrary/build.gradle.kts

In the sample code, we can include local JARs by adding an include statement:

include(files("libs/simple-jar-with-A_DoIExist-class.jar"))

I tried to include a local AAR

include(files("libs/another_lib.aar"))

But this do not work as expected.

My question is: Does Android Fused Library Plugin support including local AARs?
