Deploying Qt applications to iOS
summary
Overview of community and commercial ports that run Qt on iOS and a reproducible deployment recipe: build Qt 4.8 with iOS patches, use Creator for cross builds and generate an Xcode 4.2 project, then add iOS frameworks, set code‑signing certificates and provisioning, and package the .app/.ipa. Notes on toolchain quirks (GCC vs clang), simulator vs device differences, limited or varying OpenGL / Qt Quick performance, keyboard and backgrounding workarounds, app size inflation from libraries, and LGPL/static linking licensing issues.
