    Hello,
    When building on Windows for Android on Qt 6.4.2, I am having the error : :-1: erreur : No target architecture defined in json file.

    I had this issue before with Qt 5 and I am still having it now, is that possible that such a big bug was not fixed ?

    Is there a workaround?

    Interesting facts :

    • when creating a new empty project I have the same error
    • when running an example project provided by Qt, I don't have the error

    Thanks,

      @BlackMamba This had me stumped for a while as well. The solution is to make sure that you have the executable selected as the Run target in the Project Run wizard when building. The error occurs when a lib is selected as the Run target.

      Other pitfalls I encountered when moving to CMake are listed in a previous post.
