\title QT_ANDROID_DEPLOYMENT_DEPENDENCIES
\target cmake-target-property-QT_ANDROID_DEPLOYMENT_DEPENDENCIES

\brief Overrides the Qt dependencies added to the target's deployment.

\cmakepropertysince 6.0
\preliminarycmakeproperty
\cmakepropertyandroidonly

By default, \l androiddeployqt will detect the dependencies of your
application. However, since run-time usage of plugins cannot be detected,
there could be false positives, as your application might depend on any
plugin that is a potential dependency. If you want to minimize the size of
your \c APK, it's possible to override the automatic detection using this
property. This should contain a list of all Qt files which need to be
included, with paths relative to the Qt install root.

\note Only the Qt files specified with this variable are included. Failing
to include all the correct files can result in crashes. It's also important
to make sure the files are listed in the correct loading order. This variable
provides a way to override the automatic detection entirely, so if a library
is listed before its dependencies, it will fail to load on some devices.

A list of external libraries that will be copied into your application's
\c libs folder and loaded on start-up. This can be used, for instance,
to enable OpenSSL in your application. For more information, see
\l{Adding OpenSSL Support for Android}.

\target cmake-target-property-QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS

\summary {Extra Qt plugins to deploy with the target.}

\cmakepropertysince 6.0
\preliminarycmakeproperty
\cmakepropertyandroidonly

Specifies a path to C++ plugins or resources that your application has to bundle
but that cannot be delivered through the assets system, such as QML plugins.
With this variable, \l androiddeployqt will make sure everything is packaged
and deployed properly.

\c QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS must point to the directory where the extra plugin(s)
are built. In addition, the build directory structure must follow a naming
convention similar to Qt plugins, that is, \e {plugins/<plugin name>}.
\c QT_ANDROID_EXTRA_PLUGINS should point to the \e {plugins} part of that path.

The plugins libraries should have the name format
\e {libplugins_<type>_<name>_<abi>.so}. This will ensure that the correct name
mangling is applied to the plugin library.

\summary {Path to a custom Android package template.}

\cmakepropertysince 6.0
\preliminarycmakeproperty

Specifies the path for a custom Android package template. The Android package
template contains:
\list
    \li AndroidManifest.xml file
    \li build.gradle file and other Gradle scripts
    \li res/values/libs.xml file
\endlist

The path specified by this variable can contain custom Java classes under
\c src directory. By default, the \l androiddeployqt tool copies the
application template from the Qt for Android installation path into your
project's build directory, then it copies the contents of the path specified
by this variable on top of that, overwriting any existing files. For
instance, you can make a custom \c {AndroidManifest.xml} for your application,
then place this directly into the directory specified by this variable.

\cmakepropertysince 6.2.4
\preliminarycmakeproperty
\cmakepropertywebassemblyonly

Specifies the number of web workers (threads) to create at application startup.
Qt allocates a pool size of 4 by default. This means the app can use
4 additional threads besides the main thread, without the additional overhead
of creating a new web worker, which may deadlock if the main thread created it
and join()s the thread without returning control to the event loop first.
Translates into the Emscripten compiler setting of PTHREAD_POOL_SIZE.

Specifies the initial amount of memory to use, in bytes. Using more will cause the
browser to copy the old heap into a new one. Translates into the
Emscripten compiler setting of INITIAL_MEMORY.
QT_WASM_INITIAL_MEMORY must be a multiple of 65536 bytes.
