Shouldn't Qt 5.1 include iOS support (technical preview level)? I installed the Mac edition but I don't seem to find it!

Hi,
"This":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/03/05/qt-for-ios-preview/ might be what you are searching
Hope it helps

Thank you for your reply!
I am already aware of that, and I have successfully tried it. I just had the impression that iOS's technical preview would be included with the Qt 5.1 SDK.
-
AFAIK, each Qt build is for one platform (thinking about the platform plugin not only the processor architecture).
I think iOS will get it's own SDK in the near future (it's only a personal opinion). Having it separated from the OS X SDK is (again personal opinion) is better, not all people interested in OS X want to build for iOS and the reverse is also true.
-
Now that you mention it, I think I noticed a separate Android installer for Qt at the download section, so maybe you are correct!
-
More than a separate, they are currently three :)
-
Yes! :) So, I guess that we should expect separate versions for iOS as well, since both Android and iOS are given the "technical preview" status for Qt 5.1.
-
I think so, but I can't affirm anything
-
Qt 5.1 is shipped as source-only for iOS, which means you'll need to download the source code version and build it yourself. Digia has no plans (for 5.1 AFAIK) to release pre-built versions.
There will be a pre-built Qt4iOS SDK for Qt 5.1.0 (and Qt 4.8.5) available soon, which will include some additional features not available in the official Digia release.
-
There are pre-built Qt for iOS SDKs for Qt 4.8.5/5.0.2/5.10 available from http://www.mediator-software.com (as well as source code). These SDKs contain additional functionality and bug fixes (for iOS) that are not present in the official releases (yet).
