Gradle: how to include dependencies from repositories to output aar file

Question

I am trying to build an arr package in Android Studio. This package contains dependecies for Zendesk:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://zendesk.artifactoryonline.com/zendesk/repo' }
    }
}

compile (group: 'com.zendesk', name: 'sdk', version: '1.7.0.1') {
    transitive = true
}

compile (group: 'com.zopim.android', name: 'sdk', version: '1.3.1.1') {
    transitive = true
}

I want to build this package for a Unity3d project. This package should contain all dependecies for Zendesk (the transitive = true property). When I open the aar file there is no dependencies for Zendesk. What is wrong?

By default AARs do not include any dependencies. If you want to include them you have to copy these libs from artifactory/your cache folder into your package, either by doing it manually or this task might help you: https://stackoverflow.com/a/33539941/4310905
