Thanks!

> Did you use one codebase to write the application?

Yes, only one codebase

> Do you need Mac OSX to compile for iOS or run emulator?

Unfortunately yes. I hope that in the future Apple will allow some sort of cross-compiling.

> Did you use C++ or is there a workaround to it?

Only C++ and Qt Widgets (no QML yet)

> Basically I'm hoping that new Qt can replace Intel XDK, RoboVM, Xamarin. However, the biggest hurdle is developing for iOS on a non-Mac machine.

It can replace (at least for my needs), but you will always need a Mac OSX to compile for iOS as far as I know (because of XCode dependency and licensing stuff)




Unreal Development Kit can deploy from windows to ios without buying a mac. I'm not sure if they made a deal with apple or if its possible without their approval.


that would be very interesting to see. I'd subscribe to their monthly plan just for this.


How do you handle the iOS theme? When I tried 5.2 it looked like Linux widgets ported straight to iOS.


Hi,

I use Qt StyleSheet extensively (globally) to mimick iOS lines & colors. Isn't hard, in fact, it is very easy to do.
