Parag, The QIF importer component of GnuCash has been in place for a long time (well over 10 years to my knowledge and there have been few changes to the code base for it in that time). It has been used to import data from Quicken over that time so it is less likely for there to be a problem

I seem to recall that the importer underwent significant improvements in version 4.x as it was somewhat lacking prior to that? I would suggest updating to the latest version of Gnucash if at all possible. It looks like 2.6.19 was released Feb 2018 and 3.10 in April 2020 and a lot of development

The best chance of locating the source of an import error in a file exported from Android is to compare its file format with what is known of the QIF format and look for some deviations from this. Unfortunately QIF is a proprietary format although Intuit did make some information publicly
