[Android-development] Single APK for multiple architectures

[Bruno Tezine]

I agree, but at least Digia should read about it and use this workaround
(higher version code) as their "Qt 5 everywhere" takes more than 10 seconds
to load on every Intel device.
If somebody is looking for a framework to develop android apps and notice
that even the company's own app takes that amount of time to load the first
screen, I don't think the this person will go further with Qt. :-(
Cheers,
   Bruno.
