I’ve been trying to set up the Sailfish SDK (w/ VirtualBox), but am encountering an issue while trying to go through the “Your First App” guide from the docs. Namely, I’m getting stuck at the “Kit Selection” window, which shows I have “No suitable kits”.
Going to options shows the same kits as below, but warns that none of them have any device, compiler or debugger set up. Trying to set those up, though, seems impossible – the debugger dropdown has no options, while the device dropdown offers only “Sailfish OS Emulator 5.0.0.62 (default for Sailfish OS device)”, which cannot be selected (is clickable, but the field remains blank once picked).
This is the case for all the kits. I’m a little lost as to what I can do here, I’ve found no similar issues on the forum, nor in the docs. 
Trying to open the example projects just crashes the SDK.
FYI: Running Sailfish SDK 3.12.5 (Qt Creator 4.15.2) with VirtualBox 7.2.6 r172322 on Arch Linux (Linux 6.19.11-arch1-1, x86-64)
The search here has many tricks. Let’s start with the simple on:
Is this your first installation of the sdk on this device? When not clean up old settings etc.
Have you all options installed in the maintainance tool? The kits are seperat and need also be installed. A kit is not only the setting in your pic but a whole virtual machine. So: remove all with the maintainance tool and install again all.
By a fine installation there is no need to change settings for the kits. The only setting needed are the connections to all your fancy devices.
When this will not help please give the seach here a try.
Happy hacking!

It’s not my first, I’d botched my first install by not restarting after installing VBox. 
Either way I’d tried reinstalling multiple times, to no effect, even when manually removing ~/.cache/SailfishSDK/ as in SDK install always fails with Vbox createvm, can't set Device for Kit [SOLVED] - #3 by poetaster.
Adding some additional build targets & emulators (beyond the default, pre-selected “SailfishOS-latest”) seems to fix the issue, though(?) Specifically, I added EA, 4.6 and 4.5 – the broken 5.0.0.62 now no longer appears in the Kits screen, but the other kits do, and seem to work. Weird. 
Thank you!
