Generate aar package

[Giorgi]

Gradle does not support apklib dependencies and instead uses aar files. Can you also generate and publish the library in aar format so that we can add dependency from gradle?

This is a similar request to issue #138 that I requested a while back.

Android Maven Plugin can generate both aar and apklib with a configuration similar to the following:

<plugin>
                <groupId>com.jayway.maven.plugins.android.generation2</groupId>
                <artifactId>android-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.8.1</version>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
                <executions>
                    <execution>
                        <id>create-all-formats</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>aar</goal>
                            <goal>apklib</goal>
                        </goals>
                    </execution>
                </executions>      
            </plugin>

Hi folks, there's a few people keen to get this included in the F-Droid repository (a free software alternative to Google Play) via the Gitlab for Android client [1]. Problem is it can't be done until this issue is addressed. Is there anyone able and willing to fix it? Cheers, Robin

For your convenience, I have compiled Bypass into a gradle compatible library here: https://github.com/Commit451/bypasses
