build instructions don't seem to work anymore

[spyhunter99]

i'm guessing something changed in google/android land... but the current instructions are build publishToMavenLocal. After running this, it doesn't appear to actually do this anymore..

This link may have a solution https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51783925/how-to-publish-in-my-maven-local-repository-an-existing-aar-with-gradle
I tried a few variations of this, however i couldn't get it to work.
