    Description

      Should be reproducable with any project but only affects some machines. When starting Android application in debugger, Qt Creator needs to pull app_process from the device (see build_output.txt). For some reason it fails to do that and this can be seen in the output:

      10:47:31: Pulling files necessary for debugging.
      10:47:31: Package deploy: Running command "E:/joni/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/adb.exe -s emulator-5554 pull /system/bin/app_process E:/joni/build-android-qml-Android_for_armeabi_v7a_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_4_1-Debug/app_process".
      10:47:31: Packaging Error: Command "E:/joni/android-sdk-windows/platform-tools/adb.exe -s emulator-5554 pull /system/bin/app_process E:/joni/build-android-qml-Android_for_armeabi_v7a_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_4_1-Debug/app_process" failed.Exit code: 1
      

      Running this command in command prompt also fails. I did notice it is possible to pull some other files from /system/bin/, but not all of them. How ever this works as expected on Linux even though the image (probably?) is the same. This is probably a bug in Android SDK.

      So far this has been observed only on Windows 8.1. I could not reproduce this on Windows 7 or Ubuntu. I can reproduce this on Windows 8.1 at least with API 21 and API 22 armv7a images which can be installed from Android SDK Manager.

      As debugger then fails to load app_process (is it even needed really?), it is not possible to set breakpoints.
