So I'm having this same issue right now. Is there no way for a consumer of
an aar library to exclude a transitive dependency buried within the /libs
folder of said library? For example...
compile('com.example.mylibrary:1.0') {
exclude module: 'android-support-v4'
exclude module: 'date4j'
}
This doesn't work if date4j and android-support-v4 are jars inside the libs
folder.
