How can I change the --android-platform in Qt Creator to not be android--1 in debug mode?

Question

I'm trying to run a new Qt Quick application on my android device through Qt Creator. However, Qt Creator keeps using Android API version 1 whereas I would like it to target an Android API version 10 ( aka Android 2.3.3).

When I run Debug->Start Debugging and then select either an armeabi or armeabi-v7a on my physical device and emulators, Qt mysteriously continues to target android--1 :

"C:\\Qt\\5.4\\android_armv5\\bin\\androiddeployqt.exe" --input C:/dev/qc/build-qc_mobile-Android_for_armeabi_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_4_0-Debug/android-libqc_mobile.so-deployment-settings.json --output C:/dev/qc/build-qc_mobile-Android_for_armeabi_GCC_4_9_Qt_5_4_0-Debug/android-build --deployment bundled --android-platform android--1 --jdk C:/jdk1.8.0_05 --ant C:/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.9.2.v201404171502/bin/ant.bat

How can I configure my project to target a different android version when debugging?

My Qt creator instance is:
Qt Creator 3.3.0 (opensource)
Based on Qt 5.4.0 (MSVC 2010, 32 bit)

FYI, deploying a release-mode APK to my device does work. I'm just hoping to get debug-mode working.

You should go to Projects > Build Android APK > Details for configuring deployment settings. There is an option named Android Build SDK . Just select the appropriate Android API version.

Also to create an APK package, select the Bundle Qt libraries in APK option :

You can also select Create Templates to create the manifest file to set application settings like icon, name, ...
