@aar 'is not a valid maven coordinate

Question

Android studio updated my gradle wrapper to gradle -4.1-milestone-1-all and it seems to have broken the build. Getting the following error.

Gradle sync failed: java.lang.AssertionError: 'com.spotify.sdk:spotify-player-24-noconnect-2.20b:@aar' is not a valid maven coordinate.

The dependency is in my gradle script as an implementation and arr is in my libs folder.

dependencies {
     implementation 'com.spotify.sdk:spotify-player-24-noconnect-2.20b@aar'
}

Does anyone else encounter this error?

I am facing the same problem this morning. There's a Github issue that throws more light on the situation. It seems to be a bug of Android Studio.

IMAGE studio update 3.0 canary 6 solved it.

OLD: So after updating canary, I ran into the same problem (maybe as yours). I had a file aar

in a directory libs

added as a dependency.

this is what it was before

compile(name: 'materialbarcodescanner-release', ext: 'aar') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}

this is what solved it

 compile('com.edwardvanraak:materialbarcodescanner-release@aar') {
    exclude group: 'com.android.support', module: 'appcompat-v7'
}

basically added '{packagename}: {filename} @arr' instead of the usual convention.
