Qt on iOS

[VeNToR]

How do I use Qt Libraries as dynamic for iOS ? What is definations in *.pro file ?

[ambershark]

@VeNToR Can we see your pro file? It's all in how you built Qt. It should link dynamically by default unless you specifically linked statically.

I think, Qt should re-compile as shared library or framework for iOS.

Hi,

@ambershark The iOS Qt build is/was static.

Up until recently that was not an option since the App Store rules expressly forbad dynamic libraries within an application. The rules have change and IIRC, if not 5.8 then 5.9 is built as shared frameworks.

@SGaist We should wait :)

Oops, I totally forgot about this. I'm so used to doing desktop stuff I completely forgot about the iOS static library thing. Glad you caught it before I wasted time trying to figure that out, lol. :)
