Problem under Android with OpenSSL 1.1.1c and Qt 5.12.4.

KarlHal

Hello.

I have a problem with OpenSSL v1.1.1b and Qt 5.12.4 under Android

Everything works fine with a phone running with Android 7.1 but I get some error messages on tablets running on Android 4.4 and 5.0:

qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket: cannot resolve OPENSSL_init_ssl

qt.network.ssl: Incompatible version of OpenSSL
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed
qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed

In the pro file, I insert the files .so using this way.

ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS = \
                   $$PWD/android/lib/armv7/1.1/libcrypto.so \
                   $$PWD/android/lib/armv7/1.1/libssl.so

I tried to compile the.so files or retrieve them from this site https://github.com/KDAB/android_openssl but the result is the same.

Why do I get the message "Incompatible version of OpenSSL"? However, I use Openssl 1.1.1.1c with Qt 5.12.4

Thanks,

Best regards !

Hi,

IIRC these old versions of Android provided OpenSSL so I wonder if it's that version that gets loaded for some reason.

KarlHal

Yes. The problem seems to come from the fact that Android versions < 6.0 do not have the TLS 1.2 protocol enabled.
So, the most prudent thing to do is to stay at the version of Qt 5.12.3 to maintain compatibility with the Android versions < 6.0

I had same problem and I obtained the next conclusion:
In versions < 6.0, Android includes this libraries in system. To use your libraries must be rename it to libcrypto_1_1.so and libssl_1_1.so. Furthermore, this libraries must be compiled with ANDROID_API 16 (to works over Android 4.1).

You can get the libraries from: https://github.com/KDAB/android_openssl/

@vcamblor I think there is a typo in the name of the libraries. The right names are: libcrypto_1_1.so and libssl_1_1.so

Missing a "_" can be a nightmare at the moment of testing the APK :P

@xtingray Yes, you're right. I've made a mistake writing it
