windows installation trouble

arcgisdev007 — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 16:19:20 GMT

I am able to install QT 6.5 on Mac but I have trouble running the display-a-map on Windows to verify the installation. Specifically, I have mingui64. When I run the display-a-map, I got ole32.lib not found.

Hi @arcgisdev007,

Thanks for reaching out to the team. On Windows we only support the VS 2019 Qt kit. Mingw kits are not supported. You should be all set if you have Visual Studio and are able to use that Qt kit instead.

I have vs2022 installed but it does not look like it is being used by QT 6.5 but I will double check again.

While I have your attention, do I need to use qmake? I have Qt setup on Mac. I got "QML module not found (Esri.ArcGISRuntime) when I use cmake but I do not this error when I am using qmake. In the error hint, I got for CMake, make sure QML_IMPORT_PATH variable in CMakeCache.txt. Please advise.

@arcgisdev007 There are separate Windows kits provided by Qt, so you need to be sure you've downloaded and configured the msvc2019 kit. VS 2022 should work fine with that kit.

We support both qmake and cmake, but you may get "module not found" IDE warnings until you build. Are you hitting that problem when running, or only when viewing it in the IDE?

1. clean

2. build

3. still get error with Esri.ArcGISRuntime not file

4. :-1: error: Invalid json file: /Users/tomyuen007/Desktop/arcgis-sdk-for-qt/build-my-display-a-web-map-qml-Android_Qt_6_5_0_Clang_x86-Debug/android-my-display-a-web-map-qml-deployment-settings.json

@arcgisdev007 , this looks like targeting Android now from macOS. I tested locally and I get the same thing you're seeing. Qt 6.5 was released right as we were certifying our release, so looks like we missed catching this bug.

It should work for you if you're able to try Qt 6.4.3 in the meantime. I'll get a bug logged so we can investigate this.

Re: windows installation trouble

arcgisdev007 — Mon, 24 Apr 2023 13:53:13 GMT

thank you for the reply but is it possible to add the certified version of Qt in the getting started guide?

i will add 6.4.3 in my installation in windows but MAC seems to work ok for me so far.

@arcgisdev007 we typically mention a minimum required version, but you are free to use any newer version (in this case 6.5.0 being the latest). There are no restrictions on using Qt 6.5 LTS, but unfortunately we have this bug we need to figure out on Android with CMake.

6.5 should otherwise be working fine with our latest release (200.1).

Re: windows installation trouble

arcgisdev007 — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 14:13:09 GMT

installed Qt 6.4.3 on both Mac and Windows.

On Mac, I got "ASSERT: "!parsed.isError()" in file /Users/qt/work/qt/qtbase/src/corelib/plugin/qpluginloader.cpp, line 451 /Users/qt/work/qt/qtbase/src/corelib/plugin/qpluginloader.cpp: 451" when running the the display_a_map and I still cannot run android.

For Android, I am using Pixel 4 API 29 emulator.

For iOS, I am using iPhone 14 Pro Max emulator.

On Windows, I still cannot run Android on Android emulator. I got "The backend name 'cert-only' does not support TLS".

Please advise

On Windows, I got the following when running the display_a_map on Android emulator:

Re: windows installation trouble

JamesBallard1 — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 17:59:04 GMT

@arcgisdev007we have seen the 'ASSERT: "!parsed.isError()' error but only with debug builds on iOS. Can you please confirm you're getting that on mac as well? We will look into it in that case.

Anywhere you're seeing that assert, try running with a release build for the time being. That should alleviate those issues.

For the "The backend name 'cert-only' does not support TLS" issue, your app will likely require OpenSSL on Android.

In Qt Creator, in the Projects setting, under the "Build Android APK" section, there is a section called "Additional Libraries" where you can include the prebuilt SSL libs. See attached for what this looks like

Your paths and libraries may be different. This is just the general workflow to enable SSL in Android apps.

Thank you for your help

1. I am able to run qml app on Windows and Android emulator in Windows.

2. I am able to run qml app on MacOS and Android emulator.

3. I am able to run cpp app on MacOS, Android emulator and iOS emulator.

But the Android debugger is not working.

I am not able to run qml app on iOS emulator with the follow error:

if (!window)
{
qCritical("Error: Your root item has to be a Window.");

return -1;
}

Re: windows installation trouble

JamesBallard1 — Tue, 25 Apr 2023 23:07:20 GMT

@arcgisdev007that's good progress.

Can you share some more details about the Android debugger not working? That may fall under general app development and nothing specific with using the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt.

When running a QML app on iOS Simulator, try adding this to main.cpp and check if there's any additional output that will help identify the culprit.

qputenv("QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS", "1");

I just did a quick test and I was able to build and run on iOS Simulator with this config:

Xcode 14.2
macOS Monterey 12.6.5
Qt 6.4.3
CMake
Intel mac
iOS Simulator iPhone SE (3rd generation) iOS 16.2
Build config: Release
ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt: 200.1.0

Re: windows installation trouble

arcgisdev007 — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 03:49:51 GMT

the following is my config:

Xcode 14.2
macOS Ventura 13.3.1
Qt 6.4.3
QMake
Intel mac
iOS Simulator iPhone 14 Pro Max iOS 16.4 and iPhone SE (3rd generation) iOS 16.4
Build config: Release
ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt: 200.1.0

auto topLevelObject = appEngine.rootObjects().value(0);
auto window = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow*>(topLevelObject);
if (!window)
{
qCritical("Error: Your root item has to be a Window.");

return -1;
}

the above code return -1;

The following is the qml:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls
import Esri.ArcGISRuntime

ApplicationWindow {
id: appWindow
width: 800
height: 600
title: "Test10qmlqmakeall20"

// add a mapView component
MapView {
anchors.fill: parent
// set focus to enable keyboard navigation
focus: true

// add a map to the mapview
Map {
// add the ArcGISStreets basemap to the map
initBasemapStyle: Enums.BasemapStyleArcGISStreets
}
}
}

-------------------

Also the qml with cmake, i got the following:

import Esri.ArcGISRuntime <- QML module not found.

------------------

I am able to run and debug cpp app with qmake.

Re: windows installation trouble

JamesBallard1 — Thu, 27 Apr 2023 19:06:17 GMT

@arcgisdev007it's taking me some time to track down that exact config so we can try it on our end. I have everything except macOS Ventura, and I'm not sure if that alone would make much difference. I even tried again with the exact project name and it still worked.

Are you able to try the qputenv mentioned above early in main.cpp and see if that helps to identify any additional issues? You should get some extra logging when you try to run the app that may be useful.

Can you confirm this block of code exists in main.cpp? We just recently put this in as a workaround for compatibility problems with Qt 6.3 and later on iOS.

#if defined(Q_OS_IOS) # if QT_VERSION >= QT_VERSION_CHECK(6, 3, 0) extern const QStaticPlugin qt_static_plugin_ArcGISRuntimePlugin_compatibility(); qRegisterStaticPluginFunction(qt_static_plugin_ArcGISRuntimePlugin_compatibility()); # endif #endif

This was only added to our templates with the 200.1.0 release. It would be needed with qmake or cmake, so I assume it's there if cmake is working for you.

Re: windows installation trouble

arcgisdev007 — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 04:13:02 GMT

the above is not in the newly generated code.

I have 200.1.0 on my MAC

i have 2.00.0.0 and 200.1.0 on Windows.

Mac is the only one matter for iOS development.

--------------------------

I just do new project and create a simple vanilla app for all three platform: Mac, Android and iOS.

The same code below will run on Mac and Android but just not iOS. Do you have any advice?

auto topLevelObject = appEngine.rootObjects().value(0);
auto window = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow*>(topLevelObject);
if (!window)
{
qCritical("Error: Your root item has to be a Window.");

return -1;
}

the above code return -1;

The following is the qml:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Controls
import Esri.ArcGISRuntime

ApplicationWindow {
id: appWindow
width: 800
height: 600
title: "Test10qmlqmakeall20"

// add a mapView component
MapView {
anchors.fill: parent
// set focus to enable keyboard navigation
focus: true

// add a map to the mapview
Map {
// add the ArcGISStreets basemap to the map
initBasemapStyle: Enums.BasemapStyleArcGISStreets
}
}
}

Re: windows installation trouble

JamesBallard1 — Fri, 28 Apr 2023 15:51:48 GMT

If that block of code is missing from your project's main.cpp, try adding it and targeting 200.1.0. That's something new we added at 200.1.0, and the support for that code requires 200.1.0 as well.

With qmake you can tell the project version by this line:

ARCGIS_RUNTIME_VERSION = 200.1.0

Our QML API template should include a main.cpp that looks like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { qDebug() << "Initializing application"; #if defined(Q_OS_IOS) # if QT_VERSION >= QT_VERSION_CHECK(6, 3, 0) extern const QStaticPlugin qt_static_plugin_ArcGISRuntimePlugin_compatibility(); qRegisterStaticPluginFunction(qt_static_plugin_ArcGISRuntimePlugin_compatibility()); # endif #endif QGuiApplication app(argc, argv); // Use of Esri location services, including basemaps and geocoding, requires // either an ArcGIS identity or an API key. For more information see // https://links.esri.com/arcgis-runtime-security-auth.

That compatibility block is necessary for iOS when using Qt 6.3 or later, but it should work with our 200.1.0 release as long as that block is present.
