What's @aar value with transitive = true
I am using crashlytics as an example only.
what is the difference from
compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.6.8@aar') { transitive = true; }
and
compile 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.6.8'

If you use the notation ...@artifacttype
depending on Gradle it means "just get me this artifact and no transitive dependencies". In addition, when installing transitive = true
, you are choosing transitive dependencies, despite this fact.
The first version gets aar
with dependencies, and as far as I remember, the second always gets jar
if it's present, and nothing but dependencies. Add configurations.compile.each { println it }
to output the actual files in the config and you should see the difference.
In case crashlytics
there is no difference:
compile 'com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.6.8'
