How to add OpenSSL support for Android in QT windows

Question

Hello i am trying to develop an app as a project for school. I ran to a problem. I was greeted with this.

After google searching here is what i found out. It would seem that google has stopped support of openSSL (the one responsible for httprequests) on android 7 + . So again i went to googling for solutions and stumbled into an official documentation form Qt on how to solve this.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/opensslsupport.html

Now again more problems, It would seem that for me to do it is to use a Linux based OS, which i dont have. So hence the Title. Is there anyway for me Using QT running on a WINDOWS operating system to add openSSL support to my android application?

Qt Creator v 4.6.1 and Qt v 5.11

QT cames with OpenSSL. It should work perfectly. You may forget to add libs into apk. please refer QT Doc for details.

The one in the docs involve using Linux commands, I'm running on windows. If you can show me which step i should only do for windows it would be greatly appreciated – Jake quin Nov 26 '18 at 06:40
from step 9 and onward is the only thing i think i can do, but i do not know the proper locations of this libraries – Jake quin Nov 26 '18 at 06:42
you can find neccesary libs inside QT folder. please look into where you installed QT – Kerem Nov 26 '18 at 06:45
i do found one, libcrypto.dll.a . i could not find the libcrypto.so . Is this the same? – Jake quin Nov 26 '18 at 06:54
amazing! you also should find libssl.dll – Kerem Nov 26 '18 at 07:20
I apologize if im ignorant on the subject matter, is this the only library that i would be needing ?? – Jake quin Nov 26 '18 at 07:24
Qt only allows files with .so extention so those files cannot be added :( – Jake quin Nov 26 '18 at 08:06
