Another update: The aar ends up in the system/framework as expected. However, when I build an APK (using compileOnly linking to the aar for development) and then run it on the device, when I try to reference a simple class from the aar I get a ClassNotFound exception.
Didn't find class "blahblah" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/blahblah-alZcI7F0c4pu3uaE3oKynw==/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/blahblah-alZcI7F0c4pu3uaE3oKynw==/lib/arm, /system/lib, /vendor/lib]] I would have thought that having the package in PRODUCT_BOOT_JARS it would have added the aar file to the class path and would have allowed referencing it. I read somewhere that aar files are not applicable for loading this way...
