Hi @shefich,

Thank you for filing this issue. I was able to see this behavior on the editor using the information you provided. The resolver settings mention that AAR explosion will be disabled in exported Gradle builds. Could you try exporting the project and see if there's a difference between enabling and disabling Explode AARs? You may provide other relevant information that would help the investigation.

Hi @paulinon ,

"The resolver settings mention that AAR explosion will be disabled in exported Gradle builds" - it says that this option will be disabled for exporting the project. I am not exporting the project. How to disable it completely?
The main difference in my projects is in the "Force build". The settings are the same, but one project just make changes in gradle and dependencies files. Other project adds or explodes AARs. Disabling or enabling "Explode AARs" does nothing in project.
