Description
Steps to reproduce:
- Open example of choice (for example calqlatr)
- Go to Project -> Build steps -> Build Android APK
- App valid keystore and password for the keystore
- Deploy the example to a device
Expected:
Example deploys without issues
Actual:
androiddeployqt fails to find the APK to deploy
This is a regression from QtC 16.
Full compile log included as an attachment, the failure is:
Skipping createRCC adb: failed to stat /Users/ollivuolteenaho/Qt/Examples/Qt-6.9.1/demos/coffee/build/Android_Qt_6_9_1_Clang_arm64_v8a-Debug/android-build-coffeemachine//build/outputs/apk/debug/android-build-coffeemachine-debug.apk: No such file or directory Installing Android package to device.

As this is a signed build, the actual APK is named "android-build-coffeemachine-debug-signed.apk, as can be seen in the log:
Android package built successfully in 4.046 ms. -- File: /Users/ollivuolteenaho/Qt/Examples/Qt-6.9.1/demos/coffee/build/Android_Qt_6_9_1_Clang_arm64_v8a-Debug/android-build-coffeemachine//build/outputs/apk/debug/android-build-coffeemachine-debug-signed.apk
The core issue seems to be that QtC 17 calls androiddeployqt without the "-sign" parameter. This can be seen when comparing QtC 16 execution to 17. On QtC16:

Note "–sign foo bar". On QtC17:
