Qt 5.1 is now available
In addition to that our work to bring Qt to mobile operating systems is showing great results. Even though Qt for Android and Qt for iOS are not yet final, and are marked as technology previews in this release, they are already very usable for a large number of use cases.
Qt for Android supports all Qt modules that are part of 5.1 with the exception of Qt Serialport, Qt WebKit and parts of Qt Multimedia. Qt for Android also comes with a great integration into Qt Creator that allows you to do almost all your development until the point where you want to upload the application to Google Play.
Qt for iOS also already supports the same Qt modules as Android does, with the exception of Qt Quick 2. This is due to limitations in iOS that make it impossible to use V8 as the JavaScript engine on this operating system. We will provide full Qt Quick support on iOS with Qt 5.2.
You can install some demo applications that show Qt on iOS and Android from the App Store and Google Play. For Android we have a new Qt Everywhere demo as well as the Qt 5 launch demo available in Google Play. The blog post about Google Play contains more details about publishing Qt applications in Google Play. For iOS, we have Sub Attack, a small Qt based game and Qt Quicksand published in the app store.
As with any release also this one contains a few issues that we know about and probably some more we haven’t yet found. All of these will be collected on the Known Issues page in our wiki.
