serve aar from github release

[farfromrefug]

I have a project for which the build is really complicated and long. Also the resulting aar is around 20Mb.
So committing the release aar is not a good choice, and jitpack.io wont build the repo.

Is (could) there a way to tell jipack.io to "serve" a aar from a github release?

If not i think it would be a great addition. It would also reduce global storage usage as releases are already stored on github.

I have a similar case where I must publish the already pre-built ARR.
To do this, I created a separate repository where I keep the already pre-built AAR, and publish config looks like this:

publishing {
    publications {
        create<MavenPublication>("release") {
            groupId = "my_groupId"
            artifactId = "my_artifactId"
            version = "my_version"

            artifact(file("libs/my_lib.aar"))
        }
    }
}
