Difficulty adding sdk to android studio chipmunk

[bard112]

I'm trying to add the Spotify app remote sdk to android studio but I'm having some difficulties. This guide: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/android/quick-start/ references an older version of android studio where you can import .aar files, this no longer exists and I'm struggling to figure out how to get the sdk to work (being quite new to android studio). Are there any instructions on how to do this in android chipmunk? Thanks

Same problem here. I solved it by copying the .aar file from the SDK download into a "libs" folder in my project, then adding this line to the build.gradle file instead of the project() line given in the Quick Start:

implementation files('libs/spotify-app-remote-release-0.7.2.aar')
