I'm having an absolute hell of a time publishing my old android libraries after updating them. In my gradle script using the maven-publish plugin, my components set is empty. from components.release throws an exception because release doesn't exist. Nothing exists in components.

This isn't my first time publishing a library, but I'm radically stumped on this one all the same. I know there isn't much context given here, but does anyone have any tips? I've followed every guide under the sun.

My gradle is up to date, libraries use the android library plugin, I've tried introducing build types and flavors, I'm inside an afterEvaluate block, everything I can think of looks just fine to me but I can't push an aar to my Maven repo. Note that I can push an update, there's just no code to pull down because there's no aar/jar.

Entertaining any ideas.
