Making a Release build with Necessitas

[matti-]

Sort of a repost from the qt-android mailing list.

Couldn't figure this out myself and found next to nothing by googling this - how does one create a release build with current alpha4 Necessitas QtCreator? A year ago I published an Qt app on Google Play so it must have worked at some point but now..

I mean I've selected the "Default build Release" configuration in the
build options, do a clean rebuild and hit Run to deploy, and what I end up
with is a debug build?

It does build things into directory
myapp-build-6510e5-Default_build_Release which includes myapp.so

but then checking the output of 'file myapp.so' says:

.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically
linked (uses shared libs), not stripped

-> it's a debug build, also in the ant step the 'debug' target is run and
I end up with myapp-debug-unaligned.apk.

I'm trying to build on a 64bit Ubuntu 12.04 platform, for armv7 release target.

What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Somewhat strange thing is that the build gets -O2 -DQT_NO_DEBUG flags which I wouldnt expect in a debug build. At the same time the .pro file debug: definitions are used and a .so file with debug symbols is generated..
