Error:Project :app declares a dependency from configuration 'compile' to configuration 'default' 
which is not declared in the descriptor for project :<project-name>.

this happens when you have submodules in your project,
to fix this clone using recursive git command:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/developer-id/project.git

now go to the submodule folder and check the git repo version by:

git remote -v

if the git repo points to the main project repo that means the 
submodule git config is not pulled/added

so from this submodule folder enter:

git init

then update the remote submodule url using:

git remote add origin "https://github.com/user-id/submodule.git"

now check if rmote is updated:

git remote -v

no fetch from the submodule git:

git fetch

now if you want a particular branch checkout that branch:

git checkout origin/branch
