    The bug with headers has resolved, but although intelisense can see functions, the application still does not build

    Because you also need to say that you are using the libs ;)
    Add this in your PRO file:

    LIBS += -llibcrypto -llibssl

      It seems that you have to specify the location of the libs to avoid error error: cannot find XXX
      According to your posts, you are using Qt 5.15 for Android, so I would suggest to do it as follow:

      CONFIG(release, debug|release): SSL_PATH = /home/john/openssl_test
      else: SSL_PATH = /home/john/openssl_test/no-asm
      
      contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH, armeabi-v7a) : SSL_PATH = $$SSL_PATH/Qt-5.12.4_5.13.0/arm
      contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH, arm64-v8a) : SSL_PATH = $$SSL_PATH/Qt-5.12.4_5.13.0/arm64
      contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH, x86): SSL_PATH = $$SSL_PATH/Qt-5.12.4_5.13.0/x86
      contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH, x86_64) : SSL_PATH = $$SSL_PATH/Qt-5.12.4_5.13.0/x86_64
      
      LIBS += -L$$SSL_PATH -llibcrypto
      LIBS += -L$$SSL_PATH -llibssl
      

      It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. (Sherlock Holmes)

            @KroMignon @jsulm I was able to build a project thanks to your tips, but I am having trouble running the application on my phone now. During "Run" the application crashes and issues the following message:

              As APK file is a ZIP archive, you could verify the openSSL libs are include.

              You could also try to add them by adding following code in your PRO file:

              ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += \

                  @KroMignon Hi, unfortunately I still have a problem. I've changed repository locations and want to run the project. Building is successful, but again there was a problem running the application on the phone:

                  My pro file:
                  703c40eb-c03a-471c-91f7-c0381f0e1de4-image.png

                  Application output:
                  43b54461-7326-4f06-ace3-576e176556ca-image.png

                  It is the same error as before, despite the added:
                  0f39f55a-3a26-429a-8590-377901a05ac5-image.png

                  The project in the old location works without any problems. It appeared while moving the repository to a different path. How could I fix it?

                    The error you have is clear, the library libcrypto.so is not part of your APK, and cannot be found at application start.
                    Are you sure SSL_PATH is what it should be?
                    you could add message(SSL_PATH is $$SSL_PATH) to show what you have configured.

                        AFAIK, you have to install open ssl libs with help Qt Creator.
                        In Tools / Options select Devices and go to tab Android
                        There you will find a button called "Download OpenSSL"
                        f6e14480-17d4-4e45-98da-a5f70b05a637-image.png

                        [EDIT]: After that you have to include the libs in your PRO / CMakeLists.txt file as explained here: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-openssl-support.html#using-openssl-libraries-with-qt-for-android

                        In my case it would be

                        • for qmake:
                        android: include(c:/Android/android-sdk/android_openssl/openssl.pri)
                        
                        • for cmake:
                        if (ANDROID)
                            include(c:/Android/android-sdk/android_openssl/CMakeLists.txt)
                        endif()
