Error importing "Esri.ArcGISRuntime" to Qt Creator

Question

After running the code an error came: QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component qrc:/main.qml:19:1: module "Esri.ArcGISRuntime" is not installed

I am using Qt Creator 4.11.1 Qt 5.14.1 I am using Ubuntu 20.04

I have already added the path to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH as stated here: https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/install-and-set-up/

I have restarted the Qt Creator and my system but still not working. Any suggestions?

The code is:

main.qml

You can also set the `QML_IMPORT_TRACE` environment variable to see more of the issue. Are you using qmake or cmake? — László Papp, Jul 31 '22 at 09:31
Thanks for the reply. Is this is the correct way to add the path? : QML2_IMPORT_PATH = /home/nabil/Qt5.14.2/arcgis/runtime_sdk/qt100.14.1/sdk/linux/x64/lib I am using qmake — Nabil Haidar, Jul 31 '22 at 09:57
I would do `export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=..:$QML2_IMPORT_PATH`. You may also try to include the `pri` file that they suggest here: https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/programming-patterns/best-practices/#qt-quick-qml-api-integration — László Papp, Jul 31 '22 at 09:59
I did the export of QML2_IMPORT_PATH. I then added the .pri file using the include command. The code now has no red comments and the error beside the import part is gone. BUT still getting when running/debugging : module "Esri.ArcGISRuntime" is not installed . although the error beside it has gone. — Nabil Haidar, Jul 31 '22 at 10:30
Have you tried this from their description? `view.engine()->addImportPath("pathToSDK/sdk/macOS/x64/qml");` — László Papp, Jul 31 '22 at 10:46
Thanks for your effort. I think the problem now the Qt version since my Qt version is 5.14 and the error is: plugin cannot be loaded for module "Esri.ArcGISRuntime": The plugin '/home/nabil/Qt5.14.2/arcgis/runtime_sdk/qt100.14.1/sdk/linux/x64/qml/Esri/ArcGISRuntime/libArcGISRuntimePlugin.so' uses incompatible Qt library. (5.15.0) [release] — Nabil Haidar, Jul 31 '22 at 11:01

I will summarise the issues discussed in the comment thread to bring to an end.

Use Qt 5.15 these days and preferably always the latest bug fix release. Which is currently 5.15.5 for open-source, and not commercial, customers at the time of writing this. Even better to switch to 6.x when possible.
Setting the QML_IMPORT_TRACE environment variable can help debugging these issues.
When using qmake, they seem to suggest including their pri file to your qmake pro file.
Something like a export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=..:$QML2_IMPORT_PATH can also help localising these issues as a quick experiment.
