Posting on app store.
-
Hi,
I am developing windows based application which runs on windows 7 using Qt library.
Can I post it on windows app store? Can I do it on windows 7? In order to do that do I have to use Microsoft visual studio? Because my application is developed under mingw4.9.2, I am not sure whether I can use visual studio with my code. -

But the good news is: you can still use QtCreator as it can use Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. I'm not sure you can use Windows 7 for development Windows app store apps.

Thanks. Do you mean that we cannot post any win32 *.exe application on Windows app store? That is quite strange. And do you mean I cannot use mingw32 compiler to post on windows app store?@samdol As far as I know Win32 apps are not supported in Windows App Store, but I may be wrong.
You cannot use MinGW compiler if you're targeting Windows App Store, as it requires WinRT not win32. -
