Maven publishing options shared by[SingleVariant](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/7.1/com/android/build/api/dsl/SingleVariant)and[MultipleVariants](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/7.1/com/android/build/api/dsl/MultipleVariants).

To publish sources \& javadoc jar apart from AAR, use[withSourcesJar](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/7.1/com/android/build/api/dsl/PublishingOptions#withSourcesJar())and[withJavadocJar](https://developer.android.com/reference/tools/gradle-api/7.1/com/android/build/api/dsl/PublishingOptions#withJavadocJar()). The following sets up publishing of sources \& javadoc jar in two different publishing mechanisms.  

```text
android {
    publishing {
        singleVariant("release") {
            withSourcesJar()
            withJavadocJar()
        }

        multipleVariants {
            withSourcesJar()
            withJavadocJar()
            allVariants()
        }
    }
}
```
