Probably a good idea to assert that the .aar has no unsupported entries in it
(proguard.txt, assets, libs, jni)

[agrieve, 2016/06/16 02:00:04]

nit: you don't need to extract res/, so probably should skip that directory.
build_utils.ExtractAll(filter=) can be used for this.

[agrieve, 2016/06/16 02:00:04]

Probably a good idea to shutil.rmtree() first so that old extractions are
removed first.

[agrieve, 2016/06/16 02:00:04]

do you need an os.makedirs() first?

[agrieve, 2016/06/16 02:00:04]

For extra extra bonus points, it might be useful to validate that the
AndroidManifest.xml has no entries that require manifest merging (maybe via a
cludgy contains check)? A quick look tells me this should probably be good
enough:

if not options.ignore_manifest_merging:
  assert '<application>' not in manifest_data
  assert '<uses-permission' not in manifest_data

Most have just <application /> and <uses-sdk>, which are safely ignored.

If this check ever fails, the user would be responsible for manually copying in
the manifest changes and then adding the --ignore-manifest-merging (or
implementing manifest merging)
