QT Version reports failed to detect ABIs when trying to setup Android

[Milly]

@JoeCFD
I removed the Android module, restarted and then reinstalled everything and it is still not happy. I think I'll try again tomorrow with a totally clean install and see what happens. Thanks so much for your inputs, very much appreciated.

@Milly You can add Qt versions in QtCreator manually. Try that for the Android Qt if it was not detected automatically.

@jsulm Thanks for the input. I completely removed my Qt install and left it downloading a fresh copy over night. This morning everything works.. Only difference is that I installed 6.5.3 instead.

[JoeCFD]

@Milly I installed Qt 6.6.1 with Android modules in Windows 11 and had the same problem as yours at the beginning. After I installed JDK 17 and SDK in Qt Creator, these packages are available for use even before Open SSL is installed.

It seems to have started recently as I reinstalled everything to the latest (6.6.1) versions. Today I did clean Ubuntu 23.10 reinstall twice and it failed, too (both in VM and real machine).

[jpelczar]

Ok. Downgrading Qt to 6.5.1 appears to work, however 6.5.3 and 6.6.1 seem to fail.

Same problems for me, I downloaded all the necessary SDKs, NDKs and device images using Android Studio before switching to Qt. I'm on a Mac and I can't get an android version to work, I have tested 5.14.2, 5.15.2 , 6.5.3 and 6.6.1 qt versions and always the same problem "Failed to detect the ABIs used by the Qt version. Check the settings in Devices > Android for errors." But there's nothing in the devices to indicate a problem...

I've been having this problem for 2 days, I've uninstalled and reinstalled the SDK, NDK and Qt package several times, but nothing works. Looking through the forum, I have the impression that the problem is caused by a QT createor update. Because other colleagues who have qt creator with an another version don't have this problem.

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue, The Qt Creator Version is 12.0.1 and I have tried installing two Qt versions Qt 6.6.1 and Qt 5.15.2. For both versions, I am not able to see the kits even though Android is completely set up. Even Android Emulators and everything seem to be working fine.

If anyone solves the issue then please do let me know, have been stuck on this for some time now.

[Nigavevoli]

Just a heads up – I've noticed a problem with Qt Creator version 12.0.1. My colleagues on 12.0.0 aren't facing the same issue. Anybody else experiencing this? Might want to hold off on updating for now.

I ran into the same problem and I could fix this by closing QtCreator and deleting the directory %LOCALAPPDATA%\QtProject\QtCreator\cache\CachedStores.

I believe that the problem is caused by the qtcreator cache containing the wrong data for the android profile. My suspicion is that this happens when a Qt for Android is already installed while the Android (Java/SDK) setup in VictronConnect is not yet done. I believe that it then stores an empty ABI string and this is not updated when the Android settings are finished in QtCreator.

Thank you very much; I solved an installation problem on MacOS and QT 6.6.1.
The Android configuration was impossible before deleting the folder /Users/ (user name )/Library/Caches/QtProject/QtCreator/CachedStores
an restart the QTCreator

I have faced the same issue. Deleting cache directories (~/.cache ~/.java) solved this problem.
(Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS / QtCreator 12.0.1 / Qt 5.15.2)

@TvEngelen Thank you very much. This solution has worked for me.

[RubenRyhan]

@TvEngelen this has worked for me too, thanks very much! I have been going around in circles with this for a while until found this for QT version 6.5.3

[PR1G0RYAN]

@TvEngelen thank you! That helped

[deivpetrov]

@Gurban, thanks a lot, your solution has worked!

@PR1G0RYAN QTCreator has a bug where it defaults to compiling with QT6 for Android. If you want to use QT5.15, please refer to my reply in the other thread.
