Import aar to apk

[beshoo]

Dear all,
Lets say i have an aar lib and i want to include it in an apk.
I apktool the apk. Now how can i add this aar file, since usually we imported the aar via android studio.

I believe there is a way.

Please advice

There is no Apktool automated way. I believe a AAR is just a disguised JAR file with some additions so you could just pull out the classes/libraries/resources you need.

We could use some documentation for this, so if you end up doing it. Could you write up some steps?

Thanks!

@iBotPeaches ,
The tree of the AAR is as following :
Volume serial number is C036-678F

│   AndroidManifest.xml
│   classes.jar
│   proguard.txt
│   R.txt
│
├───jni
│   ├───arm64-v8a
│   │       libgojni.so
│   │
│   ├───armeabi-v7a
│   │       libgojni.so
│   │
│   ├───x86
│   │       libgojni.so
│   │
│   └───x86_64
│           libgojni.so
│
└───res

The content of the AndroidManifest.xml is

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="go.peerproxyClientSdk.gojni">
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15"/></manifest>

I would like to ask you for help how can we implemnt this AAR.

Looks about the same as an APK, minus a dex for a jar.
