Qt for iOS known issues

Qt for iOS known issues in 5.4.0

• Qt requires iPhoneOS.8.0.sdk and Xcode 6 (or newer) to be installed, and qmake will inform if this is not the case.

After installing latest version of Xcode you might still get a warning about the current Xcode version being too old. The solution is to remove .qmake.stash inside your build folder before re-running qmake.

• Line edits inside dialogs might not be able to get focus and bring up the keyboard. The solution is to

call QWidget::activateWindow() on the dialog after it has been shown.

• QQuickWidget and QOpenGLWidget are not yet supported on iOS.

Qt for iOS known issues in 5.3.1

Qt Positioning

Linking of position based applications fails due to an incorrect CLASS_NAME. For more details and a temporary workaround see QTBUG-39843. The fix can be tracked via https://codereview.qt.io/#/c/88290/ .

Qt for iOS known issues in 5.3.0

Qt Creator

• When switching from simulator to device in insource building you should not import the old build settings (QTCREATORBUG-11067)

Qt for iOS known issues in 5.2.x

• Known and open bugs

Building / running

• Imports in JavaScript files are not picked up automatically by QML import scanner (QTBUG-35349) Workaround is to manually add the required library in the project file, eg

  LIBS += -L/Users/torarne/build/qt/5.2-ios/qtbase/qml/QtQuick/LocalStorage -lqmllocalstorageplugin
  

and then init the static library in one of your source files using eg

Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QQmlLocalStoragePlugin)

• Default plugins for a module is not added automatically Modules like QtSQL and QtMultimedia have backend plugins that are required for the module to work, and where the plugin is the only alternative on the platform. Qt does not add this plugin automatically (QTBUG-35195), so it has to be added manually in the project file, eg for QtSql:

  QTPLUGIN+= qsqlite
  

Qt Creator

• Debugging on device has a slow startup (QTCREATORBUG-10884)
• Changing the shadow build directory does not update the run path (just in the ui, the correct one is used) (QTCREATORBUG-11080)
• When switching from simulator to device in insource building you should not import the old build settings (QTCREATORBUG-11067)

Qt Quick 2

• Using the Drag attached property causes crash. Drag and drop is not supported on iOS in 5.2, and the QML2 implementation of the property does not handle a platform that doesn't support DnD.

Examples

• Examples do not compile for iOS if they are located in a non-iOS Qt tree. If you are using Qt Creator, you need to explicitly select the iOS Qt version from the combo box in the examples browser before opening and compiling the example for iOS.
