    I managed to solve the initial error:

    Initializing deployment to Android device/simulator
    Error while building/deploying project untitled (kit: Android for x86_64 (Clang Qt 5.13.0 for Android x86_64))
    When executing step "Deploy to Android device"```
    
    by opening Android Studio -> SDK Manger -> Tick Show Package Details -> Install Android 9.+ (Q) with Atom_64 -> apply -> install.
    
    Now when I compile a Google Pixel 2 XL pops up when I run but no app is created. There are errors in the 'Issues' tab:
    

    :-1: error: error: cannot find -lc++
    :-1: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

      Selecting Qt for Android ARM64-v8a does not compile. There are no supported ABIs for that on my computer nor in the SDK manager...

      Edit: Entering the AVD Manager and changing the architecture of my default phone emulator mirror/profile on other images ATM to nougat 25 for arm64-v8a target build android 7.1.1, despite me having android 9.0, lets try it out

        ah @thanksforthehelp different error :) would have been good to know from the beginning x)

        take a look here
        https://forum.qt.io/topic/103713/error-cannot-find-lc-qt-5-12-android

        error comes from the ndk 20 despite what the docs says, that isn't quite without issues. But fixable, like the thread describes.

          It is still trying to boot the first emulation on the new architecture. I get a warning though: "Running a x86 based AVD is 10x faster". It is still trying to boot it after 5 minutes...

            @thanksforthehelp said in Android development on MacOS with Qt Creator 4.9.2?:

            "Running a x86 based AVD is 10x faster"

            Yes, for testing in VM on PC it is better to use x86 based AVD as it is way slower to emulate complete different CPU (ARM on x86).

              @jsulm so I should deploy for x86 but then when I have my prototype complete I build it with arm? Should the final product, besides the binary files, work the same and be the same?

                @thanksforthehelp Yes, exactly. But you should still test on a ARM based phone/emulator sometimes :-)

                  After switching to x86 and applying the fix to remove the new compiler errors mentioned above I get a fully running emulation of android. When does my program actually boot? Have selected android x86 project, stacked, but nothing happens after the phone boots up...

                    Never mind! The program starts after about 1 minute 30 seconds, I just have to wait without pressing the emulated screen/phone
