Hi, I am currently in the planning phase for a cross platform mobile library. I would like to generate a library (.a in iOS and .aar in Android) and distribute it to my customers who would develop a native app. I know, with QT, i can generate a static library (.a file) for iOS and a APK for android. I am not sure if QT supports creating .aar file for android. Is it possible? This will be a very important requirement for me and if QT does support it, i could potentially use QT for my cross platform mobile library. I noticed an already unanswered post here. I will highly appreciate any answer. Re: Support for Android .aar files

Hi and welcome to devnet, That's an interesting question. Do you plan to offer a java interface to your library ? Or is it destined to build C++ applications ? In any case, you should bring this question to the Qt Android-development mailing list . You'll find there Qt's Android port developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.
