<p>Qt's iOS port supports the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Widgets</li>
<li>Graphics View</li>
<li>QtQuick 1</li>
<li>OpenGL</li>
<li>Touch and Orientation events</li>
</ul>
<a name="getting-started"></a>
<h2>Getting Started</h2>
<p>Development and deployment is done using Xcode. The supported workflow is to maintain a <tt>.pro</tt> file based project, export it to Xcode (and re-export when the project setup changes), and then build and deploy using Xcode.</p>
<p>To set up your development environment, do the following:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>Setup Xcode for development (acquire certificates, configure devices). Test and deploy one of the standard Xcode app templates to ensure that it works.</li>
<li>Build the modules you intend to use, for device or simulator. Build instructions for Qt 5 is found <a href="http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git">here</a>. However, you don't need to build all of Qt 5. After cloning Qt 5, enter the qtbase directory and build from the command line like this:<pre class="cpp"><span class="operator">></span> <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">/</span>configure <span class="operator">-</span>xplatform unsupported<span class="operator">/</span>macx<span class="operator">-</span>ios<span class="operator">-</span>clang <span class="operator">-</span>developer<span class="operator">-</span>build <span class="operator">-</span>release <span class="operator">[</span><span class="operator">-</span>sdk iphonesimulator<span class="operator">]</span>
<span class="operator">></span> make</pre>
<p>If you want the latest sources, you can checkout the <tt>dev</tt> branch before building.</p>
<p>You also need to build the Qt Script and <a href="qtquick-porting-qt5.html#qt-quick-1">Qt Quick 1</a> modules if you intend to use <a href="qtquick-porting-qt5.html#qt-quick-1">Qt Quick 1</a>. From the Qt 5 top directory, type:</p>
<pre class="cpp"><span class="operator">></span> cd qtscript; <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">/</span>qtbase<span class="operator">/</span>bin<span class="operator">/</span>qmake; make; cd <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>
<span class="operator">></span> cd qtquick1; <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">/</span>qtbase<span class="operator">/</span>bin<span class="operator">/</span>qmake; make; cd <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span></pre>
</li>
</ol>
<p>To check whether your environment is configured, try running the simple demo application. It lives in the <tt>git://github.com/msorvig/qt-ios-demo.git</tt> repository. Here is how you build it:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li>../qtbase/bin/qmake</li>
<li>open <tt>qt-ios-demo.xcodeproj</tt> in Xcode and build it like any other Xcode project.</li>
</ol>
<p>When you develop your own applications, you follow the same procedure.</p>
