    I recently downloaded Android from qt on Windows 11 for qt version 6.6.1. I am using QT Creator to set up the Android development. After following all the steps when checking the qt versions tab under preferences -> kits it shows errors for all Android installations. The error says: "Failed to detect the ABIs used by the Qt version. Check the settings in Devices > Android for errors". These are all the things that I did install for my qt installation:

    • MingW 11.2.0 64 bit
    • MSVC
    • Android
    • Qt Language Server
    • Qt Creator 12.0.1 with CDB Debugger Support
    • Debugging tools for Windows
    • CMake
    • Ninja

    I tried multiple different JDK versions as well, here is what I tried:

    • JDK 18.0.1: Installs Android SDK and NDK properly as well as any other things installed by SDK manager also no errors when Qt Creator checks for Android installation errors.
    • JDK 18.0.2.1: Installs Android SDK and NDK properly as well as any other things installed by SDK manager also no errors when Qt Creator checks for Android installation errors.
    • JDK 11.0.20: Installs Android SDK and NDK properly and any other things installed by SDK manager but lots of errors when Qt Creator checks for Android installation errors.
    • JDK 8: Doesn't install NDK but manages to install SDK, also errors when Qt Creator checks for Android installation errors.

    Here are the errors that show up when using JDK 11 and 8:

    Here is the Qt Versions page in the kits tab:

    I also tried msvc from the qt installation but that doesn't fix anything.

    Any help would be appreciated!

      After downgrading to Qt 6.5.3 the android issue fixes itself. Any idea why it is causing a problem in Qt 6.6.1?

        For the "Android settings have errors", press the "Set Up SDK" on the right hand side of the Devices > Android tab to download the missing tools.

        However, I still get the "Failed to detect the ABIs used by the Qt version on the Kits > Qt Versions tab for Qt 6.61. 6.5.3 is fine for me as well.
