Building example for Android fails on MacOS

Running Qt 5.13.0 on MacOS Sierra (10.12.6).
I've configured Qt for Android development per these instructions,. Trying to build the qmlsurfacelayers project in qtcreator examples, using the android kit armeabi-v7a (Clang Qt 5.13.0 for Android ARMv7). Build fails with following error messages:

Warning: QML import could not be resolved in any of the import paths: QtQuick.Extras.Private.CppUtils
Warning: QML import could not be resolved in any of the import paths: QtQuick.Extras.Private.CppUtils

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
