Solved Stable Qt version for Android developing. Which?
-
Hello all?
Since a lot of last QT versions do not friendly for Android, there are a lot of issues. I've tested on 5.12.7 and 5.14.1. Which Qt version is stable for Android or will Android issues be fixed on closest releases (5.14.2 for example)? -
5.14.1 works pretty well for me, with newest Android SDK & NDK. Before that, 5.10.1 seemed to be very good as well (with older SDK and NDK of course).
I recommend sticking with 5.14.x. It has new deployment style, uses modern SDK and NDK (pretty much required if you are aiming to release on Play Store) and is stable.

@sierdzio I am trying to be sticking to it. But just after releasing I've been reporting troubles with Android. And Qt 5.14.1 crashing for me. On MacOS and iOS everything fine. What is the version of SDK that you are using?

Are you using .aab builds? Don't, they are broken and do crash. Use regular .apks instead.
I'm using SDK 29 and NDK 21 (21.0.6113669).

@bogong I would stick to 5.12.3, as the Rotation Sensor has been broken since 5.12.4 and the Qt developers don't even care enough to respond.

Yes but this original issue is not resolved either.

@bogong I'm sticking with
- jdk 1.8.0_192
- SDK 26.1.1
- NDK r18b ( 18.1.5063045 )
You may ask why 5.12.6 and not .7, and rightfully so.
I back ported a bug fix from 5.13/14 to 5.12.6 and I'm not goin through the trouble doing it again for 5.12.7.
One would think .512 as an LTS would geht the fix automatically, but 🤷♂️

@jsulm Sorry about that. I meant to link to that bug report, but somehow linked the one I reported. Your link is a better example of the Qt developers ignoring this critical issue. They also ignored me on the release announcement for Qt 5.14.
How can they not consider the rotation sensor a critical showstopper bug? Why don't they respond?

Solution found. Issue closed. For me is OK Qt 5.14.2 and Qt Creator 4.12.0. The explanation is in bugreport https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-81706.
