    I am new to the QT community but experienced in C++ development. I have tried to ask this question but I believe that I am not phrasing it right. Here is my latest attempt.

    I am working on a proof of concept and I have several questions about the mobile versions that I assume are all true but I wanted to get feedback.

    Is QFile fully supported on Android and iOS?

    Can I write to QFile or is it available only as a read-only part of my distribution?

        Hi,

        Yes it is, but mobile platforms have other rules regarding access to the underlying file system. Thus you won't be able to write in every place on your device. QDesktopService/QStandardPaths (Qt4/Qt5) will give you the folders where you can access files

          Hi.
          About Android I use QFile class a lot there and i have no problem at all, for now everything works just as good as on linux or windows, write, read, copy, setpermissions etc.
