Qt for Android known issues

  • There is a bug in GCC in the latest Android NDK, making it impossible to use it for building Qt. The bug has not been fixed yet, and it's recommended to use Android NDK r10e. See also the bug report.
  • The Android NDK compiler has a bug when building for armv5 and deploying on older kernels. This will cause Qt applications to crash on startup. When building Qt, you need to disable 64-bit atomics for armv5. See QTBUG-52923 for more information.
  • On Android 5.0, neither the debug deployment or Ministro are working correctly due to changes in the platform. There is currently no known work-around for this. Issues have been raised in the Android project here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79478 https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79480
  • WebKit is not supported
  • Qt Quick 1 apps must be deployed using qrc (QTBUG-32170)
