<![CDATA[Qml based application for appstore\googlestore.]]>Hello.

Ios\Android application is qml based and it download its qml files after launch from my own server.
Something like this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv)

QQuickView view;
view.setsource(QUrl("http://example.com/main.qml"));
view.show();

return app.exec;
}

It is example from document http://www.slideshare.net/jeremylaine/serving-qml-applications-over-the-network (page 11)

Will appstore\googlestore accept my application?
I am ready to buy any commercial apple\google\qt licenses if it will need.
Thank you.

Thank you.

  • Apple_Developer_Program_License_Agreement_20160921.pdf
    3.3.2 ... The only exceptions to the foregoing are scripts and code downloaded and run by Apple's built-in WebKit framework or
    JavascriptCore,...

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QtScript
    The current (as of Qt 4.7) implementation uses JavaScriptCore and will not be further developed. The module is deprecated as of Qt 5.5.[3]

    • So, is Qt 5.4 with JavaScriptCore legal for code downloading and code running?

The reason is easy to understand: any quality checks done by Apple could be circumvented if the functionality or UI of the app could be downloaded dynamically. Everything must go through the normal store system.

    You probably know these already, but Apple and Google provide long lists of dos and don'ts
    https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/
    https://developer.android.com/distribute/tools/launch-checklist.html

    Also when working on the app, consider the user experience. Provide some content in the base install, so the user is not stuck with a "downloading" text when they start the app in places with bad data connections.
