[Interest] Future of Qt with Ios

[Gustavsen Richard]

The orientation bug is a known issue, and will be fixed with Qt-5.4.

My work getting app working with ios8 continues, alone (alone, no one is interested to share experiences).

After i got basic stuff working with Qt5.3.2RC and using NSFileManager method to get right path to data files i found next issue. Screen rotation does not work any more, or it rotates but does not notify app that it is rotated. So if I have portrait and i turn device to landscape, i have upper part of portrait visible in left side of landscape screen with right orientation but width is still portrait width. I put qDebug to eventFilter and I see that absolutely no event arrives when i turn screen.

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.


I tried to look and ask what does this mean in practice. I tried with some qt supplied demo apps, Latest released Qt 5.3.1 does NOT run in IOS8, Qt5.3.2RC does run. When I tried to get my app running, i noticed that app data directories are now in new location and I needed to use [NSFileManager defaultManager] URLsForDirectory:NSDocumentDirectory to get my app working.

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.
