[Automotive] What is the proper process for building for release with appman

[Dominik Holland]

Hi,

you might want to look at:

https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/appman-packager.html

for packaging the application and at:

https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtapplicationmanager/appman-controller.html

for installation. Note the snapshots in the url, as this points to the
latest version of the Documentation.

In general the application can be packaged on any computer, it doesn't
need to match the architecture where appman is running on. Only if you
need to load binaries like a QML plugin or a native application, this
needs to be available in the correct architecture.

Best
 Dominik
