This is a public Qt *user* list. As such people actually developing Qt itself might or might not read here (some do!).

If you really want to suggest new functionality over an "inofficial" channel you might have better luck on qt-developers mailing list.

If such a platform-specific API such as the one you are looking for would ever be added then it would go into a "iOS Extras" Add-On.

But for the time being (Qt 5.4 RC) there is no such Add-On, AFAICT:

  http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/qt5-5.4/qtmodules.html

But as suggested it is very easy to combine Obj-C++/Cocoa/iOS API calls with C++. Read the qmake docs how to include/compile/link such *.mm files.

So I don't see your problem then, sorry.

I was just trying to help here...

Good luck,
