Importing aar file in Flutter Plugin

Importing aar file directly in flutter project is easy and straight-forward but in flutter plugin its not. When importing aar file in flutter plugin I get the following error : -

Direct local .aar file dependencies are not supported when building an AAR. The resulting AAR would be broken because the classes and Android resources from any local .aar file dependencies would not be packaged in the resulting AAR. Previous versions of the Android Gradle Plugin produce broken AARs in this case too (despite not throwing this error).

This issue can be solved using the following command : -

compileOnly fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.aar'])

but this line only complies the file but when using it in a project it file wont get imported.

    enter image description here

    rootProject.allprojects {
    repositories {
        google()
        mavenCentral()
        flatDir {
            dirs project(':YOUR_FLUTTER_PLUGIN_NAME').file("libs")
        }
    }
}

    As shown above, you need to add rootProject.allprojects, and in
    dirs project(':YOUR_PLUGIN_NAME').file("libs"), otherwise your project won't be able to find resources under libs when importing the plugin. Also, in dependencies, you need to add

    api(name: 'YOUR_AAR_NAME', ext: 'aar')

    otherwise it won't be able to find the dependencies of the plugin
