Android Target SDK version being reduced

[ConnorLee]

I am trying to build an apk that targets version 29 of the Android SDK, however when I compile it seems that the Target SDK version is reduced.

I get this log message at the end of my compile output before the tasks:

Android build platform: android-29
Install to device: No

Configure project :
WARNING: minSdkVersion (29) is greater than targetSdkVersion (28) for variant "debug". Please change the values such that minSdkVersion is less than or equal to targetSdkVersion.
WARNING: minSdkVersion (29) is greater than targetSdkVersion (28) for variant "release". Please change the values such that minSdkVersion is less than or equal to targetSdkVersion.

However I am targeting android 29 in the manifest and in the "Build Android APK" build step, is there something I am missing here?

This is on Qt 14.2 with ndk 21 and MacOS Mojave 10.14.4,

if I run "grep SdkVersion" on the output apk I get:
A: android:compileSdkVersion(0x01010572)=(type 0x10)0x1d
A: android:compileSdkVersionCodename(0x01010573)="10" (Raw: "10")
A: android:minSdkVersion(0x0101020c)=(type 0x10)0x15
A: android:targetSdkVersion(0x01010270)=(type 0x10)0x1c

So the compile sdk version is correct and the min version (currently at 21) but the target version is lower than what I am specifying in the manifest.

I've tried updating to qt 15.1 but the app crashes every time I click on anything. Is there something I am missing here?

I could be wrong but this sounds like there's just a "Run qmake" missing.

Im getting the same issue on 15.2 and 14.2 on both Mojave and Big Sur. The only way I can build for the latest platform is with qt 11.3 With NDK r10e but with any other combination it always targets API 28 instead of 29.

@ConnorLee I have the same issue with my installation. I did not notice the problem earlier, but then I updated Android SDK to the latest version and after that I can't deploy my app any more to any device. QtCreator says "Android settings are OK. (SDK Version: 3.0, NDK Version: 21.3.6528147)"
From the AnroidManifest.xml I can't set minimum nor target SDK.
