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

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.
