I am importing a library module named "wear" in my project and while building, I am getting this:

Error : A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.   
Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':app:_debugApk'.   
Project :app declares a dependency from configuration 'compile' to configuration 'default' which is not declared in the descriptor for project :wear.

What does it mean? How can I get rid of this?

  • Could you solve this yet? I am facing the same issue while building for React Native through Android Studio. – kittu88 Mar 23 '17 at 15:59
  • Are you using composite builds? I have this error when I build with `--include-build`, but without it I have another one: `Could not find libmylib.aar (com.package:libmylib:1.0-BETA-SNAPSHOT). Searched in the following locations:`, even though the "location" in which it searches is the right link. In my case, I get those errors with gradle 3.4.1, but not with gradle 2.14.1 (i.e. the latter works fine). – JonasVautherin Mar 31 '17 at 15:13
  • @rarahat02, Did you found any solution for this issue. Am also facing the same issue. If so, please suggest the possible way to fix the issue. – Senthil Mg Jun 07 '17 at 11:45

  • one of the reasons for this problem is renaming directory name for the module. so don't change folder of your modules – Rajesh N Oct 15 '17 at 05:21

This error usually occurs when Gradle cannot find a particular component. I experienced this when trying to use the Salesforce React Native Android example.

The error message you get looks like the one you posted ... in my case it was

Project :app declares a dependency from configuration 'compile' to configuration 'default' which is not declared in the descriptor for project :libs:SalesforceReact.

I found my Gradle settings file ( called settings.gradle ) in the projects android directory. The start of it looked like this

rootProject.name = 'SmartSyncExplorerReactNative'

def libsRootDir = new File( settingsDir, '../node_modules/SalesforceMobileSDK-Android/libs' )
include ':app'

include ':libs:SalesforceReact'
project( ':libs:SalesforceReact' ).projectDir = new File( libsRootDir, 'SalesforceReact' )

In this case, the path given in libsRootDir did not exist (as these libraries actually came from a different repository which I cloned and then pointed this path to!).

Once I had corrected the path, save the settings file and reran, everything worked smoothly.

I hope this helps, Jonathan.

    This just happened to me and thanks to your answer I found that the npm module I was pointing to in the path was not installed! Thanks! – Joshua Dyck Aug 30 '17 at 00:23

I have faced same issue when i update android studio 3.0 and following solutions works for me

implementation project(path: ':yourModule', configuration: 'default')

This solution will work if you are using Gradle 4.1 and above and Gradle Plugin Version 3.0.0 and above.

I hope this will work for you

I found this error too. So, I noticed that my settings.gradle was searching for a path that didn't exist. Example: (settings.gradle)

project(':YourProjectV1').projectDir = new File('../YourProjectFolderV1/app/');

However, in my filesystem, the path was: ../YourProjectFolderv1

After syncing the names, the project was ok!

I hope that helps.

I ran into a similar issue with a different set of modules. I was finally able to resolve it by reinstalling the necessary modules via npm but with the --save flag. i.e. npm install --save module-name

It looks like if you just have the .iml file in the module folder, it's not enough for the android studio to resolve it.

Good luck.

Actually the project itself lays inside the target project root folder:

...
 |-wear
      |-app

So in order to include it properly you have to define path that points to that inner folder:

'setting.gradle':

include ':app', 'MyLibraryProject'
project(':MyLibraryProject').projectDir = new File("X:\\SOME_PATH\\wear\\app")

'app\build.gradle' (Main project)

dependencies {
...
compile project(':MyLibraryProject')
...
}

I ran into this errors too, it turns out that there are a library path changed. Im using react-native-maps version 1.4

In settings.gradle change the react-native-maps dependency path to

... include ':react-native-maps' project(':react-native-maps').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-maps/lib/android')

It seems to me the installation manual is not updated

I recently encountered such a problem, when I was in the window10 compiler no problem, but I compiled a problem in Linux, I think this reason with the platform, I checked and found that my project name is with the case Named, and then I unified named lowercase letters, and then build, found successful. ^ _ ^.

for me, I just modify the line in settings.gradle: project(':test').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '~/android-test') to project(':test').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '/Users/Michael/android-test') which means avoid using "~" in the settings.gradle.

I actually just needed to add the submodule so I ran the following git commands in terminal:

git submodule init git submodule update and then a rebuild!

first: rm -rf node modules

then: npm i

then: Build -> Clean

then: Close Android Studio and Reopen. This time u should be promoted in the bottom area that react-native-maps needs to be installed. Click on the link and install it

This case is you don`t install the plugin.Please you install the plugin.Such as "npm install -s wear"
