Gradle error when building

See original GitHub issue

I’m trying to test Sonar with android, I created a new application with android studio, and added the dependency to the build.gradle

dependencies {
    // ...
    debugImplementation 'com.facebook.sonar:sonar:0.0.1'
}

When I try to build the app, I get the following error:

There is definitely a packaging problem with version 0.0.1 of the library. It includes all class files of the dependencies (including the support library, Guava files, OkHttp, …):

The exclude group statements for debugImplementation suggested above won’t work in this case. They only work for dependencies that are declared in the pom file (sonar-0.0.1 does not declare any dependencies there - they are all bundled inside of the aar).

The only way I could get it to work is to manually extract the aar file (and the contained classes.jar file), repackage them, then directly reference them in my build.gradle file.

It went something like this:

mkdir -p ~/tmp/sonar-0.0.1
cp ~/.gradle/caches/modules-2/files-2.1/com.facebook.sonar/de84b64d6ab7a9b71e80875f5fb6cabf040eb06/sonar-0.0.1.aar ~/tmp/sonar-0.0.1/
cd ~/tmp/sonar-0.0.1
unzip sonar-0.0.1.aar -d aar-0.0.1
cp aar-0.0.1/classes.jar .
unzip classes.jar -d classes-0.0.1

# Now delete all the unwanted packaged class files, e.g.
rm -rf classes-0.0.1/android classes-0.0.1/javax classes-0.0.1/jsr-305

# Repackage classes file
jar cvf classes.jar -C classes-0.0.1/ .

# Repackage aar file
cp classes.jar aar-0.0.1/
jar cvf sonar-0.0.1-LOCAL.aar -C aar-0.0.1/ .

# Now use the new aar file directly:

cp sonar-0.0.1-LOCAL.aar ~/path/to/android-project/app/libs

# build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        jcenter()
        flatDir {
            dirs 'libs'
        }
    }
}

# app/build.gradle

dependencies {
    // ...
    debugImplementation(name: 'sonar-0.0.1-LOCAL', ext: 'aar')
}

I have a hard time understanding how the Sonar library in its current form would work with any external real application out there. I am facing similar issue but with OkHttp3

Program type already present: okhttp3.Authenticator$1 Message{kind=ERROR, text=Program type already present: okhttp3.Authenticator$1, sources=[Unknown source file], tool name=Optional.of(D8)}

And since OkHttp3 is pretty common [sarcasm], how on earth can Sonar in its current form work in real production apps? So this library has to be slimmed down and not ship with all these baked in dependencies.
