How to include assets in an android plugin (aar)?

I’m building a plugin for android that includes a couple of assets in the various aar files ~ however when I build my test project the assets are missing from the apk. If I export the android project and build from Android Studio the assets are included. I’m not sure why this is happening or what I can do so that the assets are included when Unity makes the build.

The assets in the aar file are located in:
plugin.aar/assets/*
plugin.aar/assets/fonts/*

When I build with Unity.
unityproject.apk/assets/* ← this folder is empty

When I build with Android Studio I get the results I’m looking for.
androidstudioproject.apk/assets/*
androidstudioproject.apk/assets/fonts/*

This is a valid concern. Please submit a bug report with a repro project, and we’ll handle that.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for this finding. Please file a bug report including small repro project that we will be able to repro and fix it.

Thank you in advance.

Any update on this? Not bringing in the assets from the .aar bring concerns that the build process doesn’t build with .aar files properly. Is that the case, or is this just a weird bug? Also, any estimation on when this might be fixed?
