[Interest] How to run a WinRT app on a Window 8 intel tablet?

[Nuno Santos]

Hi,

I have finally managed to compile WinRT 32 with some quirks around the 
path. Trying to migrate one of my apps to WinRT resulted in some problems:

1 - It seems that ButtonStyle for QtQuickControls button is not 
available. Is this normal?
   qt.winrtrunner.app: 
file:///C:/Users/nsantos/Dropbox/workspace/build-tkfx-Qt_5_5_0_for_Windows_Runtime_32bit-Release/bin/QtQuick/Controls/Styles/Base/ButtonStyle.qml: 
File not found
   A quick check on the deployed QtQuick/Controls/Styles/Base shows that 
there are no files, however, they are on the respective WinRT qt dir. 
Maybe this is a bug on the deployment tool?

2 - Also, images doesn't seem to get loaded. I have a warning on the 
console and i'm not sure if it is related somehow: qt.winrtrunner.app: 
libpng warning: iCCP: known incorrect sRGB profile

3 - Application State changes notifications seem to be buggy and 
inconstant for  ApplicationStarted (random numbers appear insted of the 
value 4). However, it seems to be working for the remaining cases.

4 - My app uses Bonjour to browse for network services. I have a 
QtWrapper around dnssd lib from Apple. It works on Mac OSX and Windows 
Desktop. When I start the browser, app stays blocked like if the call 
was blocking, but on the other referred OS's it doesn't.

5 - QtPurchasing is not available (i supposed this wasn't implemented 
for WinRT yet?)

Any ideas regarding this topics?

Regards,

Nuno
