Current Behavior

When the build task is launched, it just takes the main build script as base and from it, gradle just take the repositories:

Execution failed for task ':app:checkDebugAarMetadata'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
   > Could not find com.uxcam:uxcam:3.3.4.

     Required by:
         project :app > project :capacitor-community-uxcam

Possible solution:
 - Declare repository providing the artifact, see the documentation at https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/declaring_repositories.html

Expected Behavior

It should not be needed to put the required repositories in the main build script file but it should get also repositories from its dependencies(plugins).

Code Reproduction

plugin’s build.gradle:

repositories {
    jcenter()
    maven {
        url 'https://sdk.uxcam.com/android/'
    }
}

Other Technical Details

npm --version output: 7.0.15

node --version output: v15.4.0

pod --version output (iOS issues only): 1.10.0

@jcesarmobile At first it does not show any problem at building time, but later, the plugin’s class cannot find the UXCam java class from the compiled aar; hence, i had to revert it:

[jcesarmobile]

try using compileOnly 'com.uxcam:uxcam:3.3.4@aar' instead of implementation 'com.uxcam:uxcam:3.3.4@aar', that way only your plugin compiles the aar and other modules don’t need to know about it.
