Hi André,


I’m not aware of any plans from the Qt Group to invest into building CI or software engineering capacity into supporting ChromeOS.

But if this is an important platform for your product, then you can of course contribute at least with the latter, and perhaps set up a test environment to verify those modules that are relevant for you. We run CI tests on Android through the emulator, and only release smoke-testing on device; so theoretically, the plumbing in the Qt build system should just work if your emulator has a ChromeOS image.

And you can of course file bug reports, but they might only get attention if the issue is reproducible on regular Android as well.


Cheers,
Volker
