Publish multi-flavor android libraries with jitpack.io

This project demonstrates how to publish multi-flavor android libraries to jitpack.

The gist of it is using dcendents gradle plugin and understanding that jitpack calls "./gradlew install" if left to auto-config

What's here:

• on the multi-lib branch
  • a project that publishes 2 libraries (matterlib and energylib) each with their own flavors
  • a demoapp that gets to use the libs
• on the single-lib branch
  • just one library with flavors
  • the demoapp that uses it

There's a difference in the way jitpack names the artifacts for single vs multiple library repositories.

Flavor coordinates on jitpack

Single library project

If the project includes a single library, the repository name gets to be the artifactId, even if you specify otherwise.

To include a flavor as a dependency:

implementation "com.github.<USER>:<REPO>:<git-tag>:<flavor-name>@aar"

If the library has a defaultPublishConfig, there should be an artifact with the normal jitpack coordinates:

implementation "com.github.<USER>:<REPO>:<git-tag>"

An example for this setup is in the single-lib branch of this project.

multi-lib project

If the project produces multiple libraries, the coordinates change a little.

When working with a flavor of the library, include it like this:

implementation "com.github.<USER>.<REPO>:<library-module>:<git-tag>:<flavor-name>@aar"

And if the library has a defaultPublishConfig, there should be an artifact with the following coordinates:

implementation "com.github.<USER>.<REPO>:<library-module>:<git-tag>"

An example for this setup is in the multi-lib branch of this project.

jitpack.io is great for OSS.
