APK build suddenly missing libraries

TGRSM

My scripts to build the Android version of our app has been working for months.

The last week, it suddenly started to generate an APK that was 20Mb smaller than normal, and would not run at all (silent failure, no errors) .

I compared the old working APK with the new one and found the following differences (missing files) (output is the diff of the files in the APK file list):

The scripts (abridged) is:

I tried adding the missing libs into the imports.xml but it does not make a difference:

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtWebView 1.1

import QtGraphicalEffects
import QtMultimedia
import QtQml
import QtQuick
import QtQuick.LocalStorage
//import QtQuick.Particles.2
import QtQuick.Scene2D
import QtQuick.Scene3D
import QtQuick.Shapes
import QtQuick.XmlListModel


Component {}

Qt version is Qt 5.12.3.
