QT 5.1 Beta - Where to start with Android or IOS?
-
Hello there!
I have just installed the QT 5.1 Beta installer for Mac OSX. Now I want to create some Android and IOS sample applications but I can't manage to find sample projects or any tutorial on how to do it.
Could anyone tell me where to start with these platforms?
Thanks.

Hi Lucha!
As you can see here "http://download.qt-project.org":http://download.qt-project.org/development_releases/qt/5.1/5.1.0-beta1/ binaries for android are avaliable only for a linux platform. Probably you will need build Qt on Mac yourself. -
Thanks for the reply, qxoz!
What about IOS applications?
-
Unfortunately for IOS i didn't see any prebuild binaries yet. You should build it anyway.

Hi,
You can try use "this instruction ":http://blog.qt.digia.com/blog/2013/03/05/qt-for-ios-preview/ to compile Qt for iOS.

Any updates to this, now that we have a binary?
-
Since Qt is crossplatform. Is it possible to develop for ios on linux? But most likely need a mac to use a device, and get the app to app-store?

You will need to build the app with Xcode (if you're wanting to get it into the Apple App Store). It's possible to set up a PC as a 'hackintosh', or set up OSX 'Snow Leopard' in a VM. Depending on how much your time is worth, it may be 'cheaper' to buy a 2nd hand Mac mini.
