How to successfully publish a KMM library on localMaven() for android project to consume it?-CodePudding

I'm trying to integrate KMM library I made with my Android project. Till now I've successfully published the KMM library locally by following the steps here

But unfortunately when trying to add it as a dependency in my Android project the project doesn't build:

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugNativeLibs'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.
> Could not find com.example.kmm:core-android:1.0.0-snapshot.1.
 Searched in the following locations:
   - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/com/example/kmm/core-android/1.0.0-snapshot.1/core-android-1.0.0-snapshot.1.pom
   - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/com/example/kmm/core-android/1.0.0-snapshot.1/core-android-1.0.0-snapshot.1.pom
 Required by:
     project :app

I've already added mavenLocal() to my repositories

repositories {
    google()
    mavenCentral()
    mavenLocal()
}

But still getting nothing, any help ?

Note: when trying to consume the library in another KMM project or Module it successfully builds.

By default, no artifacts of an Android library are published. To publish artifacts, you need to add below config in your gradle file.

    kotlin {
        android {
            publishLibraryVariants("release", "debug")
        }
    }

Please check here for the details: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/mpp-publish-lib.html#publish-an-android-library

Seems like a trivial mistake I was trying to add mavenLocal() repository to the project build.gradle file when I was supposed to add it to the settings.gradle file which obviously overrides the repositories declared in the build.gradle
