Not able to add aar file to react-native project

[hariramsvnit]

I am building a react-native project for android but not able to add an aar file as a dependency.

I have followed following steps

1. Created libs folder inside android folder and placed aar file in that.

2. Written this in top level Gradle

    ` repositories {
       mavenCentral()
       flatDir {
         dirs 'libs'
       }
    }`
   

3. added following line to dependencies

    `compile project(name: "xyz", ext: 'aar')`
   

And I am facing this error while building

`* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-abc'.
> Required keys [path] are missing from map {name=xyz, ext=aar}.`
