Unable to debug Android App (Windows + Qt Creator 12 + LLDB)
-
it all feels like there are some race condition issues or whatever...
it some times (on 3% of occasions) works PERFECTLY.
AFTER WE"VE INTRODUCE CUSTOM OVERRIDED TO SIG_FAULTS THROWN UPON US from QT.
as of now , as it is on current setup.
while on 97% of occasions it's UNUSABLE.
And that's a thing to worry about.
Creator dying every now and then... same for GDB... LLDB unusable.. breakpoints working on some occasions.. skipped other times...debugger kicking in late.....
it doesn't take a genius to notice that it's that's the case on QT Creator 12 with QT 5.15.16 on default settings and NDK/SDK installed by Creator itself, something is not right
Go ahead and try setup QT Creator 12 and Android SDK on fresh Windows 11
Kits won't get created (..) openssl won't get downloaded. it's all messed up

Why all my KIts' settings get WIPED OUT after the crash?
@CodesInChaoss did you click apply button after resetting.

@JoeCFD yes as of now, we've deployed like 3 VMs already , we're diving into crazy things such as updating maveen, gradle, checking any binary dependancies, diving deep into the internals of GDB..... it does NOT work.
take a look at what official Android site says about debugging with GDB

Let me emphasize - all was fine with QT 5.15.12 and OLD Creator 10 community edition over GDB.

All the time while playing around with settings, while editing and saving QT Creator 12 would deploy new kits..... forgetting some settings... like the yellow triangle next to each is about missing compiler settings.. and of course.. it was set

Now we became paranoid to get things running
so we keep going through points available at https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.15_Tools_and_Versions
line by line... so we uninstall JAVA SE 17 compatible stuff in favor of JAVA SE 11 (even though in variety of places it says newer versions of JAVA are all good)
but guess what?
After the JDK is unistalled.... new versions of JDK chosen.... QT CReator 12... it would never recover - look above........
