I've just tried here, after installing all Android, Java and Qt
packages and selecting an android kit, QtC tells me:

Cannot find the android build step.
Error while building/deploying project XYZ (kit: Android for
armeabi-v7a (GCC 4.9, Qt 5.7.0))
When executing step "Deploy to Android device"

Tools->Options->Qbs seems to be setup correctly
(cpp.toolchainInstallPath/Prefix points to my Android NDK toolchain)

I had a quick go at setting up the toolchain manually with
qbs-setup-toolchain, but it refuses to detect the toolchain....

Anyway, your problem seems to be different since your associated Qbs
profile look corrupted/missing.

Which platform are you building on?

On Linux, QtC profiles are stored under $HOME/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qbs

Whereas your "regular" qbs profiles are stored under
$HOME/.config/QtProject/qbs/
