[solved] Build application with Qt5 for iOS

cristeab

Hi

I am trying to build an application with Qt5.3 for iOS. I am able to cross-compile Qt5 modules with the configuration command:

./configure -developer-build -nomake examples -nomake tests -opensource -confirm-license -release
-xplatform macx-ios-clang -sdk iphoneos

While the compilation succeeds, when building my application it still tries to link with i386 libraries. The XCode project is generated with qmake. I have used the same steps to build Qt for the iOS simulator (using -sdk iphonesimulator) and this time the application builds and runs in the simulator. Are there any other steps that I should do in order to build an application for iOS and run it on the phone ?

hi,
I think you mistakenly write here as Qt 5.3. Currently Qt has released Qt 5.2 alpha version. They will officially release Qt 5.2 in a few weeks. this version is meant to support the iOS and Android development with no issues. the whole previous versions are test phases and it contains errors while developing applications.

Qt5.3 is the version from development branch. I think that my error is related to the fact that I need a Developer License for compiling my application, even if it is a little odd that Qt libraries compile anyway.

Ohh its cool that Qt5.3 is available from development branch. I never tried this as i simply uses the free version of Qt. anyway good luck to you.
