QT_ANDROID_LEGACY_PACKAGING

The Android app legacy packaging.

This property was introduced in Qt 6.11.

Note: This property is used only if targeting the Android platform.

Specifies whether the app uses legacy packaging. When legacy packaging is set to TRUE, the app APK will store compressed libraries that are extracted on the device during installation, and the app would load those libraries. Otherwise, when set to FALSE, the libraries will remain uncompressed and the app can load them directly from the APK package and the libraries are mapped to memory when used.
