Build issue: "The Hilt Android Gradle plugin is applied but no com.google.dagger:hilt-android dependency was found"

[Rahul]

I cloned this repo, & tried to import it to Android Studio 2020.3.1. Beta 1.

The project is not getting built due to this error:

A problem occurred configuring project ':ar'.
> The Hilt Android Gradle plugin is applied but no com.google.dagger:hilt-android dependency was found.

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException: A problem occurred configuring project ':ar'.
	....
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: The Hilt Android Gradle plugin is applied but no com.google.dagger:hilt-android dependency was found.

This is my Android Studio configuration.
