    I made some research but I am quite not sure and I don’t want to take a risk, if I make an iOS app and post it to the Apple Store, will I have to buy the qt paid version? If not what do I need to do to avoid paying for it. (I think I saw I had to make it open source but I just wish to make sure of it)

    Sorry if I am in the wrong category, I wasn’t sure which one was the right one, since it was for iOS and AppStore I figured this one would be not so far
    If my question is unclear say it and I will re-phrase it

      Hi and welcome to devnet,

      Warning: I am not a lawyer.

      AFAIK, you have to abide by the LGPL rules which might be complex in the case of the AppStore.

      If you want a definitive answer, check with the Qt Company.

        @SGaist said in When do I need to buy the paid qt version?:

        which might be complex in the case of the AppStore.

        any more details about that?

        Users of my open source project are asking for an iOS release, so this would affect me.
