Gradle Maven plugin “install” task does not work with Android library project

Question

I want to install android library project to local maven repository. Here is build.gradle:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()

There's an easier solution if you don't want to use a custom plugin. Instead, just recreate the install task with a different name. I called it installArchives. Add the following code to your build.gradle:

task installArchives(type: Upload) {
    description "Installs the artifacts to the local Maven repository."
    repositories.mavenInstaller {
        configuration = configurations.default
        pom.groupId = 'my.group'
        pom.artifactId = 'my-artifact'
        pom.version = '1.0.0'
    }
}

You can now run gradle installArchives to install your aar locally.
