Solved Qt Android OpenSSL issues

[BTSTOnline]

Yeah, I've been reading and researching and compiling and recompiling... and still getting SSL errors since upgrading to 5.12x

My config:
Qt Creator 4.9.2
Based on Qt 5.12.4 (Clang 10.0 (Apple), 64 bit)
Built on Jun 26 2019 11:30:44
From revision 8181363fa9

Compiling against NDK 19c

QSslSocket::sslLibraryBuildVersionString() returns "OpenSSL 1.1.1b 26 Feb 2019"

I've used the link provided at: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/android-openssl-support.html:

https://github.com/KDAB/android_openssl

To grab the latest OpenSSL (but 1.1.1b instead of 1.1.1c).... rebuild, rebuild, clean, rebuild... and I still get this when accessing HTTPS files:

E linker  : library "/system/lib/libcrypto.so" ("/system/lib/libcrypto.so") needed or dlopened by "/data/app/org.qtproject.example.markFinder-F4cbyaIXcBlklUMR3Eav2w==/lib/arm64/libQt5Core.so" is not accessible for the namespace: [name="classloader-namespace", ld_library_paths="", default_library_paths="/data/app/org.qtproject.example.markFinder-F4cbyaIXcBlklUMR3Eav2w==/lib/arm64:/data/app/org.qtproject.example.markFinder-F4cbyaIXcBlklUMR3Eav2w==/base.apk!/lib/arm64-v8a", permitted_paths="/data:/mnt/expand:/data/data/org.qtproject.example.markFinder"]

And:

W btstWx_map: qt.network.ssl: QSslSocket::connectToHostEncrypted: TLS initialization failed

Anyone have any ideas why?!

Yes, I have this to include the PRI:

android {
    include(openSSL/openssl.pri)
}

And, I've included it in my Project as well. Same as I used to do with the older version of SSL.

-----------UPDATE
Had two PRO files confused... correctly adding in the INCLUDE of the ssl PRI file worked.

Hi,

Did you properly deploy the library with your application ?

[BTSTOnline]

I have it reference in my PRO file like I always have.

App PRO:

android {
    DISTFILES += \
        android/AndroidManifest.xml \
        ANDROID_PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR = $$PWD/android \
        openSSL/openssl.pri
}

openssl.pri:

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,armeabi-v7a) {
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += \
        $$PWD/arm/libcrypto.so \
        $$PWD/arm/libssl.so
}

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,arm64-v8a) {
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += \
        $$PWD/arm64/libcrypto.so \
        $$PWD/arm64/libssl.so
}

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,x86) {
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += \
        $$PWD/x86/libcrypto.so \
        $$PWD/x86/libssl.so
}

contains(ANDROID_TARGET_ARCH,x86_64) {
    ANDROID_EXTRA_LIBS += \
        $$PWD/x86_64/libcrypto.so \
        $$PWD/x86_64/libssl.so
}

Which exact version of Qt ? The switch to OpenSSL 1.1 in the official binary happened for Qt 5.12.4.

Knew there were OpenSSL issues, so I updated this past week.

[SGaist]

That's the Qt Creator information. I am asking for the Qt version you are using to build your application.

[BTSTOnline]

5.12.4, right?

[SGaist]

Indeed, it just realised something. From the .pro file bits you posted, you only have openssl.pri in DISTFILES. Do you include it at some point ? Otherwise, it's content won't be processed.

[BTSTOnline]

Yes, I have this to include the PRI:

android {
    include(openSSL/openssl.pri)
}

And, I've included it in my Project as well. Same as I used to do with the older version of SSL.

What version of Android are you targeting ?

Just to make sure, you are not trying this on an Android 5.x device? As it's not gonna work with openSSL 1.1.x

Current test device is Android 9. LG V50 ThinQ
