[Interest] Qt5.1 for iOS

[Joshua Grauman]

Hello all,

I'm interested in diving into using Qt5.1 on iOS. Before I do though (I'm 
not a Mac or iOS user) I have two quick newbie questions for iOS:

1) I keep hearing that iOS is "locked down" or a "walled garden". If I buy 
an iPad or whatever, is it pretty easy for me to compile/build my app and 
load onto my device? (I do have a Mac for development purposes, but no 
iPad/iPhone yet). How is this normally done?

2) Once I have built/developed my app, is there any way to get my app onto 
other devices (besides the App store)? Can people download my app if their 
OS isn't jailbroken, or does it have to go through the App Store? Is there 
a way for users to put the app on their own iPad/iPhone (through USB for 
example)?

Thanks!

Josh
