I'm getting an ANR reported in Google play in a Qt 6.4.1 Qt Quick app. I am not able to reproduce it, but it is causing an ANR rate of about 1% of daily sessions, which is above Google's bad behavior threshold.
The stacktrace on the main Android thread always looks like this:

seem to be in the normal "ready" state. None the threads are executing my code (linked into libMMfA_arm64-v8a.so) except for main calling QCoreApplication::exec(). That doesn't exonerate my code, but it makes it hard to debug!
I wonder if anyone else is seeing this ANR? Any hints on how to fix it or avoid it?
What is org.qtproject.qt.android.accessibility.QtAccessibilityDelegate? Is this only invoked if the user has selected a screen reader or something like that, or is it run all the time? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at the Qt source code, the problem is in plugins/platforms/android/androidjniaccessibility.cpp,
template <typename Func, typename Ret> void runInObjectContext(QObject *context, Func &&func, Ret *retVal) { if (!QtAndroid::blockEventLoopsWhenSuspended() || QGuiApplication::applicationState() != Qt::ApplicationSuspended) { QMetaObject::invokeMethod(context, func, Qt::BlockingQueuedConnection, retVal); } else { __android_log_print(ANDROID_LOG_WARN, m_qtTag, "Could not run accessibility call in object context, event loop suspended."); } }There could also be a race condition in the applicationState tests. But in my app I have <meta-data android:name="android.app.background_running" android:value="true"/> so I don't think the applicationState matters in my case.
In any case, it is blocking the Android main thread to run code on a QObject's thread. There must be other places where the Qt threads block waiting for the Android main thread, causing deadlock.
I will submit this as a bug report.

Looks like the same issue.
I am rolling out an update that adds
qputenv("QT_ANDROID_DISABLE_ACCESSIBILITY", "1");
in my app's main function before the construction of the QGuiApplication. I will know in a month or so whether this avoids the problem. -

Hi guys, did the environment variable help you to get rid of these ANRs? Didn't it backfire somewhere else?
