firebaseAppDistribution - No signature of method: build.android() is applicable for argument types: (build_run_closure1) values: [build_run_closure1#x

I have a capacitor app and I'm trying to implement the Firebase Distribution with Gradle (https://firebase.google.com/docs/app-distribution/android/distribute-gradle?authuser=1&apptype=aab) but I'm stuck at this error:
No signature of method: build_clqfykx9rkn9m9ygw4eh6w1bu.android() is applicable for argument types: (build_clqfykx9rkn9m9ygw4eh6w1bu$_run_closure1) values: [build_clqfykx9rkn9m9ygw4eh6w1bu$_run_closure1#60526ded]
I've did all the steps of the process and my build.gradle files look like this:

of course, everything worked until I added this part:

firebaseAppDistribution {

artifactType "AAB"
archivePath System.getenv("ARCHIVE_PATH")
releaseNotes "Change this before releasing in production!"
}
I'm very new at modifying build.gradle files so I guess is sometihng syntax related but I can't figure it out. Even if I make small changes like artifactType "AAB" -> artifactType="AAB" I keep bouncing from this error to this one: Task 'appDistributionUploadRelease' not found in root project 'android'.
Any help or leads will be apreciated, thank you.

No signature for method : build.android... Seams to appear when there's something wrong with you Gradle configuration, like missing properties in the firebaseAppDistribution property or wrong file paths. Once I fixed that i had the Task 'appDistributionUploadRelease' not found in root project 'android' problem, which I solved (by pure luck) changing the appDistributionUploadRelease command for appDistributionUploadAppARelease. It seems the task doesn't have a generic command and the flavour must be specified.

And most importantly, there is no such process, even without the prefix ApkCopy. That is, to see what the problem is locally impossible, since locally there is no such process and locally everything works. Direct please in the right direction.
Thank you for answers!

Gradle is trying to download the artifact ru.somebible.android:statistic but fails to do so because it can't find it in any known artifact repository. I assume that the artifact is published in this repository: 'http://jenkins01.mobile.somebible.ru:7700/nexus/content/repositories/somebible-internal/'
In that case, make sure that your build machine has access to this repository and make sure that that artifact can actually be found in that repository.

Classes.jar folder is empty when using latest version of library from jcenter

I have successfully uploaded the android library through android studio terminal on Bintray and library is also added to JCenter. Now, I used gradle dependency code snippet in gradle file. it has sync successfully for version "1.0.0".
Next, I updated the library version from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 and upload that library to Bintray. It's successfully uploaded. also, I used gradle dependency code snippet in gradle file. its also completed sync successfully for version 1.0.1 as well.
But I could not access the library class and function. because the class or java file does not exist in classes.jar folder of the external libraries of the project. (clasess.jar folder is empty.)
Help is appreciated!

I didn't manage any of those files as I don't have gradle experience yet.
Could you help me to figure out what went wrong?
Thank you very much.
P.S.:
The log files give me this error:

Gradle only downloads .aar.asc from Maven Central

I freshly deployed an Android library named TypedPreferences. I used it in another Android project for some days. Suddenly, it stopped working - dependencies cannot be found any longer. I noticed that Gradle only downloads one file when I clean the project:
Download http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/info/metadude/android/typed-preferences/ \
1.0.0/typed-preferences-1.0.0.aar.asc
These are build files of my pet project:
build.gradle:
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration
// options common to all sub-projects/modules.
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:0.8.+'
}
}

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:3.2.+'
compile 'info.metadude.android:typed-preferences:1.0.0'
}
As you can see, I also enable Gradle to look into my local Maven cache here:
maven {
url "${System.env.HOME}/.m2/repository"
}
I deleted the relevant folders to avoid Gradle loading stuff from there.
There might be a misconfiguration in the build.gradle files of the library - please find them here:
Library files
Please tell me also whether I can test your fix locally without deploying to Maven Central.

Looks like the packaging element of the published POM has the wrong value. It should be aar, not aar.asc.

Also, you always can force the type of artifact to download. Just add dependency like:
compile "group:artifact:version#type"
And in your case it will be
compile "info.metadude.android:typed-preferences:1.0.0#aar"
That's it.
