Transitive dependencies of embedded dependencies are not added to pom

[Legion2]

Describe the issue Transitive dependencies of embedded dependencies are not added to pom when publishing the fat-aar to maven. For example :main depends on :lib and therefore use embed project(':lib'). :lib depends on remote dependencies, which should not be embedded into the fat-aar, but are required, so they should be added to the pom which is generated when the fat-aar is published to a maven repository.

Build Environment

• Operating System: Windows
• Gradle Plugin Version: 4.0.2
• Gradle Version: 6.3
• Fat-aar Version: 1.3.3

Hi, just came across the same problem. I've noticed that as a workaround you could declare those transitive dependencies missing in pom file as dependencies of app module but in the long run this would be a nightmare. I was expecting that as an other workaround I can use transitive property but even this doesn't work...I might be missing something - I've just set fataar { transitive = true } in the build.gradle of "main" lib module but having Retrofit as a dependency in the "sub"module of the main lib this still doesn't work unless I add retrofit dependency in the app module. I've also notice that example project doesn't cover this situation so it's hard to verify if my implementation fails or this is general problem.
