I have an Gradle project where one of the modules is an application that has a native jni part; a ".so" library that is required by the jni code is located inside a zip file hosted on our internal Nexus repository.

I'm trying to setup a dependency to this zip file so I can use gradle standard authentication mechanism on the Nexus repo and the caching functionality (the zip file is discretely big) and have a pre-build task that actually extracts the .so file from the zip so that the jni build can use it.

The problem, as by title, is that gradle is correctly downloading the pom file but is completely ignoring the associated zip file, without outputting any error regarding the dependency not being resolved.

The gradle version being used is 4.6.

On the nexus server, the pom and the zip files are named like this:

<company and project>-1.5.5-20181112.115014-4.pom
<company and project>-1.5.5-20181112.115014-4-20181112_114531_245-BIN-CKT.zip

And this is how my build.gradle looks like:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

buildscript 
 repositories 
 jcenter()
 mavenLocal()
 maven url 'https://plugins.gradle.org/m2/' 
 
 dependencies 
 classpath 'nu.studer:gradle-credentials-plugin:1.0.1'
 


apply plugin: 'nu.studer.credentials'


repositories 
 mavenLocal()
 maven 
 url '<internal nexus address>'
 credentials 
 // see https://github.com/etiennestuder/gradle-credentials-plugin
 username = project.credentials.nexus_user
 password = project.credentials.nexus_password
 
 
 jcenter()

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
