Android aar vs jar

Hello,

I'm writing a plugin and at first I was using the class.jar and just renaming the jar file and everything worked fine. My library then required certain permissions so I exported a .aar file that includes the AndroidManifest.xml that will be merged with Unity's. So now I get a
AndroidJavaException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException even though it works with .jar.

Any suggestions as to what's the problem?

 

I'm a dumbass you can delete this.

 

Hey. If you don't mind can you post your solution. I am also trying to learn how to build plugins and use it with Unity. The solution you provide maybe of help to me in the future.

Thanks.

 

I had changed the package name and so I didn't update the namespace in Unity that calls that specific class so it kept giving me the ClassDef error.
