Qt is a great toolkit and I've messed around with it on Android on and off since Lighthouse. One thing I want to point out is that Qt is LGPLv3 and (in my non-lawyer opinion) this is a pain point on restricted application environments like the Google Play store on Android. Its not clear to me that you can comply with a user request to get access to replace or modify LGPL'd software in your application.
- wtracy 7y agoThat issue goes away if you purchase a commercial license, which is quite affordable. That's the only way to legally distribute Qt apps through Apple's app store.
- joezydeco 7y agoThankfully it's a one-shot license for "mobile" development as opposed to "embedded" development, which needs a paid license per unit.

It doesn't need to be available via the same mechanism, it just needs to be available, no? And if so, you could embed within the .apk (even if it makes it huge), no?
