Well, this doesn't have anything to do with Android. AAR is just a slightly different JAR format.

This is specific to the `maven-publish` behavior and the Gradle configuration.

Perhaps building a shadow JAR would help with including those dependencies.  <https://github.com/johnrengelman/shadow>

Then the answer is yes, best way imho is to publish each of the libraries individually

You need to merge all your library project into a fused aar. This is non trivial in Android (it's not the same as just merging 3 jars together). We are actively working on this (it's a highly voted feature request). You can follow <https://issuetracker.google.com/62121508> as we'll update there when we're done
