This was fixed in https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/676.

As for the released contents that are on Bintray, for version 8.0.0, I manually patched to create that release.

This fix came after 8.0.0 was released to npm and that is why master was fixed and not 8.0.0.

I still don’t know what you are doing with that .aar 🤷‍♀ .

But well, I tried to reproduce and failed with master of cordova-android:

Hi @janpio,

Basically, I am trying to generate an aar file. It is being generated while using any branch/tags upto 7.1.x (https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/tree/7.1.x), but not in branch/tags 8.0.x (https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/tree/8.0.x) and I am getting the attached error.
It is usually generated under framework/build/outputs/aar directory.
I have created the minimal reproduction repository in https://github.com/girigiramesh/reproduction-sample as you had suggested to debug.
Please let me know if you require further. Thanks.

The image contains a reference to Gradle 6

Think you’re misreading the output here. The reference to Gradle 6 is simply for a warning that deprecated features are used that will be removed in gradle 6. The actual gradle version used is 5.4.1, with the latest version being currently at 5.5.1.

There is known issues using gradle 5.x however, as reported at #754 and #718 so perhaps this is related.
