I have developed a Qt application in Ubuntu 20.04 using Qt5.13.2. I want to deploy it's app image and I was looking for tools which will help me create that. I have tried using linuxdeployqt but it is not supporting app image creation for latest Ubuntu distribution.
Is there any other tool available?

@surajj4837 You should rather read AppImage documentation: https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/introduction.html

The reason linuxdeployqt does not support your latest ubuntu is not, that its not up to date, but it is on purpose.
If you build your appimage on a new linux and then want to run it on an older installation it might not work there since e.g. the libc version on the older system does not support new features that have been added. And running on any system is the whole point of the appimage.
