Qt on iOS A to Z
summary
Qt runs on iOS since 5.2 and production-ready features land in Qt 5.5; development requires a Mac, Xcode 6+, and iOS 8+ and the simulator builds x86 while real-device testing needs code signing via Xcode. Qt Creator/qmake generates an Xcode project and an Info.plist, produces a static-linked bundle, and handles QML UI, images with @2x assets, sensors, maps and in‑app purchases. Native gaps get filled with an Objective-C++ bridge that embeds UIKit views (text input, web views) over the QML scene; example app loads views dynamically and animations and native overlays work but need careful geometry and memory handling.
