Android Gradle error resolving modules

[unclejay80]

Got several errors with an Android project ( https://github.com/vector-im/element-android ) which has several sub modules:
https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/blob/develop/settings.gradle

The syntax with : in settings.gradle file is pretty standard for android projects but seems to be a problem for ort. The : is refering to subfolders with the same name.

Maybe it makes sense to ignore the settings.gradle file for android projects because it just some sort of top level project file (https://developer.android.com/studio/build#settings-file)

Here is the log:
