Description:
Currently, Bitbucket Cloud Packages for Maven does not support publishing or retrieving .aar (Android Archive) files, which are essential for Android development. Supporting .aar files would enable Android developers to manage and distribute their libraries more efficiently using Bitbucket Cloud’s Maven repositories.

Use Case:

• Android teams often build and share reusable components as .aar files.

• Having .aar support in Bitbucket Cloud Packages Maven would streamline CI/CD workflows and dependency management for Android projects.

Request:
Please add support for .aar files in Bitbucket Cloud Packages Maven repositories, allowing users to publish, store, and retrieve Android libraries as Maven artifacts.

Impact:

• Enables Android teams to use Bitbucket Cloud as a single source for all Maven-based artifacts, including .aar files.

• Improves developer productivity and artifact management for Android projects.
