    I have not figured out how to build iOS from Qt dev.

    I may wait one more week and hope that Qt 5.5 Alpha is not further delayed:

    http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5.5-release

    • Alpha Release 24th Feb 2015

    It does look like the Qt dev to Qt 5.5 branch occurred.

      thanks Ed. i did see that the Alpha is coming soon. do you know where alpha's can be downloaded?
      i looked in the download section, but that has a less daredevil kind of audience in mind.

        You need

        @-xplatform macx-ios-clang@

        for iOS and set the SDK accordingly if you want to build for the simulator

        @-sdk iphonesimulator8.1@

            I think I found it last time by Googling for Qt 5.4 Alpha and found some blog posts announcing it. It would be nice to have a mail list I could sign up to.

            Keep watching the blog:

            http://blog.qt.io/blog/2014/09/08/qt-5-4-alpha-available/

            Hopefully a 5.5 version will appear next week, and it will work, and I will not have to implement native Bluetooth for my Qt app on OS X and iOS.

            https://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/5.4/5.4.0-alpha/

            Qt 5.4 Bluetooth is working now on both Android and Linux. Unfortunately for Windows I must to resort to using native winsock2 Bluetooth API.

              just looked at the 5.4. for the Alpha release it is source only.
              beta has install packages.

              thank you for the location though. i'll keep an eye on it.

                Sadly I can find no announcement of Qt 5.5 Alpha having made the revised plan release date of 24th Feb 2015.

                There is no new information on the new wiki.qt.io site:

                http://wiki.qt.io/index.php?title=Qt-5.5-release

                I could not find a new Qt 5.5 folder here:

                https://download.qt.io/development_releases/qt/

                      Qt 5.5 Beta snapshot (the beta release candidate) is out.

                      Bluetooth OS X support is working. I can connect to a device that uses the serial port profile. Same app works fine on Linux as well. Qt has no Bluetooth support for Windows so you have to use WINSOCK.

                      Bluetooth iOS support will be for Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) only. However when I compile the Bluetooth Low Energy Heart Listener or Bluetooth Low Energy Scanner examples they both report a project error:

                      Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: bluetooth

                      Hopefully this will be fixed in the next snapshot.

                      Apple does not allow your app to talk to a Bluetooth classic serial port profile anyway unless you add an Apple ID authentication chip to your device. The ID chip is almost free (at least for our 1K volumes) but the application process for approval through the Made For iPod ( MFI ) program is a challenging adventure game. I think I'd rather do my US federal taxes personally.
