If you want to publish the lib as a maven dependency, follow these steps before publishing a new version to npm:

I don't understand:

1. What a use case of lib as maven dependency ? Because when I use the lib with react native I do it by npm package with js and iOS parts and android part contains build.gadle file with code which check aar destination - not in maven directory and try to build lib from source code when can't find aar and current lib directory ? How I can use use aar distributed by maven to avoid building from source ?

2. Why u say first lib as a maven dependency and then publishing a new version to npm - what relations between maven and npm ?
