there's more missing:
- avoid flicker for android apps out-of-the-box
- easy way to 'share' content with/from other apps (Intents, Deep
Linking) Android, iOS
such common use-cases should be abstracted and available via Qt API

coming from BlackBerry 10 Cascades/QML APP Development I'm astonished
how many common mobile tasks are missing

I want to motivate my enterprise customers to use Qt for mobile
x-platform development
they're comparing with Xamarin, Ionic, Angular ...

I still believe Qt is the best solution for mobile x platform and hope
there will be really progress on this
esp. after providing QtQuickControls2 Material style for great looking apps
