Use an aar library cause missing dependencies using api in Gradle 4.x

Question

When I build an app with a *.aar file instead of the module with Gradle 4.x and following the docu concerning implements and api, I expect using api

Answer 1

I was able to solve it. The main issue was Android O with Gradle 4.x using api

dependencies {
    api 'com.squareup.okhttp3:logging-interceptor:3.4.1'
    api "io.reactivex.rxjava2:rxandroid:$versions.libs.rxAndroid"

Most answers are concerning something like this

publishing {
    publications {
        mipartner(MavenPublication) {
            groupId '...'
            artifactId '..'
            version 1.0
            artifact "$buildDir/outputs/aar/myLib-release.aar"

            //generate pom nodes for dependencies
            pom.withXml {
                def dependenciesNode = asNode().appendNode('dependencies')
                configurations.compile.allDependencies.each { dependency ->
                    def dependencyNode = dependenciesNode.appendNode('dependency')
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('groupId', dependency.group)
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('artifactId', dependency.name)
                    dependencyNode.appendNode('version', dependency.version)
                }
            }
        }
    }

    repositories{
        maven {
            url "https://some.url.com"
        }
    }
}

but here in the resulting *.pom there are no dependencies included, after change this line to api the dependencies are included in deployed pom !

configurations.api.allDependencies.each { dependency ->

after this you can easily consume the aar file

dependencies {
    api "com.mylib.net:mylib:1.0"
