Unable to debug Android App (Windows + Qt Creator 12 + LLDB)

CodesInChaoss

Let me emphasize - all was fine with QT 5.15.12 and OLD Creator 10 community edition over GDB.

All the time while playing around with settings, while editing and saving QT Creator 12 would deploy new kits..... forgetting some settings... like the yellow triangle next to each is about missing compiler settings.. and of course.. it was set

These are my settings.

I expected this upgrade to QT 5.15.16 and QT Creator 12 to take an hour or two, not many days without results. Targeting Android API 31

Now we became paranoid to get things running

so we keep going through points available at https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_5.15_Tools_and_Versions

line by line... so we uninstall JAVA SE 17 compatible stuff in favor of JAVA SE 11 (even though in variety of places it says newer versions of JAVA are all good)

but guess what?

After the JDK is unistalled.... new versions of JDK chosen.... QT CReator 12... it would never recover - look above........
NEVER.

@CodesInChaoss

after one attempts to select NDK's loation by hand (..) wonderful huh?

CodesInChaoss

@CodesInChaoss

CodesInChaoss

@CodesInChaoss

Guess time to un install Creator 12... the COMMERCIAL THING.. all over again.. doing this like 8th time this week maybe more

CodesInChaoss

Am I to receive any kind of 'thanks' for these reports from Qt? A free Tech Support just maybe?

CodesInChaoss

@CodesInChaoss Here we go AGAIN

CodesInChaoss

GOOD FOLKS!

QT Creator 12 (the paid for version) does not continue to surprise (..) along with its documentation.

So that's the result of QT Creator doing autonomous Android SDK setup under the Java SE 11 as advised by official docs.

RE-install AGAIN?

CodesInChaoss

@CodesInChaoss

Since we really really WANT to get this up and running, we would download and OFFICIAL 11.0.12 JE as advises by docs (..) not the opensource thing...and see
