AndroidManifest after build do not match the android Manifest I have in the source directory

TiagoSD

Hello. I am struggling with a build problem . I have an AndroidManifest.xml in the android directory in my source directory. I am using cmake with the cmake file as of bellow. When I build the project, for any of the targets, the build create an Android-build directory inside the build dir of each target, but with content completely unrelated to the source. The final result is, I am unable to update the version of my app. I am for several days trying to discover from where he takes that Manifest.xml.

Probably I am missing something simple or I misunderstood some mechanic. Can anyone orient me on what I should expect and what Manifest I should update so I can package my Application correctly using QtCreator?

@TiagoSD what qt version are you suing ?

Qt6 ? than use this:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/cmake-target-property-qt-android-package-source-dir.html

set_property(TARGET myapp APPEND PROPERTY QT_ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/android)

assuming your manifest file is in the android sub folder

@J-Hilk Thank you! I somehow missed that instruction.
