[Interest] Future of Qt with Ios

[Gustavsen Richard]

We always work to support the latest versions of an OS, also on iOS. So yes, Qt will build and and run on iOS 8. Internally we have been working with the developer preview for some time already. We have no plans for Metal yet, though.

Emne: [Interest] Future of Qt with Ios


I’m really rooting for Qt. I love it so far. I’ve invested about 7 months into a project using Qt. But I’m having some doubts that I wonder if anyone could help me with.

I’m concerned that Qt and the iOS are a bit at odds with each other. For instance, Apple just announced iOS 8. Try to find information about how Qt is going to handle the new OS change. I can’t find anything. Is Qt planning on supporting Metal (which is Apple’s new OpenGL replacement—which is 10x faster than OpenGL)—which is exclusively Apple. Just questions like these bother me that there isn’t “buzz” happening around Qt.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

With my project, I’m at a bit of a cross roads. Its written with Qt at its heart. The hope was to have a nice environment to make a Apple/Android app. But I’m feeling a little hesitant about the direction I’m going in.
