no need for this since you aren't using "sources" as an arg.

Why copy it?

+        rebase_path(invoker.aar_path, root_build_dir),
+      ]
+      outputs = [

+    }

+    write_build_config(target_name) {
+      deps = [
+        ":$_copy_target_name",
+        ":$_unpack_target_name",
+      ]
+
+      type = "android_aar"
+      jar_path = "${_output_path}/classes.jar"
+      r_text = "${_output_path}/R.txt"

+    }
