No dependencies for Picasso in Android Project

Question

I wanted to see all the dependencies in my Android project, but I came across Picasso library which does not "unfold" its dependencies.

I tried typical Gradle command among a few others

./gradlew :app:dependencies

Result is always:

+--- com.squareup.picasso:picasso:2.5.2
+--- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:1.3.11
|    \--- org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:1.3.11
...

Does anybody know why there are no Picasso dependencies listed?

Answer 1

It is because it does not have any "compile/implementation" scoped dependencies.

You can check the pom.xml for Picasso:
